About Me
AI Engineer & Full Stack Developer building production-grade AI systems — Founder of Smart Hire AI.
I'm Khursheed Ahmed — an AI engineer and full stack developer based in Lahore, Pakistan, specializing in production-grade AI systems, multi-agent pipelines, RAG architectures, and voice AI. I founded Smart Hire AI, an AI recruitment platform with active enterprise pilots.
Over the last three years I've worked across the stack — from MERN-stack product engineering at Eventus Sol, to multi-agent AI infrastructure at Introva, to founding and technical leadership at Smart Hire AI. The throughline has been building things that real users depend on, with the production-engineering discipline that AI work demands: latency budgets, evaluation pipelines, observability, and graceful failure modes.
My Story
What I'm most interested in is the intersection of two ideas: that generative AI is finally good enough to be the interface to complex systems, and that most companies haven't yet figured out how to deploy it safely, reliably, and economically. That's where I work — building RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestrations, voice agents, and the integration layers that connect them to the messy realities of production systems.
Smart Hire AI is the most complete expression of what I believe modern AI products should be: opinionated, deeply integrated, voice-first where it matters, and engineered to handle the long tail of real-world inputs. It won the Best FYP Award from the UMT Software Engineering Department, and the UMT HR department has requested platform adoption. I also co-founded Josh AI, a Chrome extension for the India recruitment market, as a joint venture.
I've represented Pakistan at the Microsoft Imagine Cup as a global semifinalist (the only Asian team to qualify from a field of 20,000+), ranked #1 in Pakistan and #31 globally in the Meta Hacker Cup, and finalled at the Google Gemma AI Hackathon in London. Competition has been a useful forcing function — it teaches you to ship under pressure and to build with conviction when there's no time to second-guess.
I'm open to senior AI engineer roles, remote positions, and UK/Europe opportunities. I also freelance on Upwork (Top Rated, 100% Job Success). If you're building production LLM systems, I'd love to talk.
