Hi, I'm Youssef Taha Badawi 👋

Generative AI Engineer | LLM & RAG Systems | Backend AI Engineering

I'm a Generative AI Engineer with a B.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science from Beni-Suef National University (graduation project scored A+ / 99%). I work across the full AI product lifecycle — from fine-tuning and RAG pipeline design to shipping production backends that actually serve the models. I like taking an idea from a research notebook all the way to a deployed system someone can actually use, and I validate what I build empirically rather than just shipping it and hoping.
