About

AI engineer at Symufolk. I build the pipeline behind Puffo AI.

I'm an AI engineer at Symufolk, where I work on the Puffo AI platform. I joined as an intern in April 2026 and was promoted to Associate AI Engineer in July. The system I spend most time on is a nine-agent pipeline built as a forward-only state machine: human approval gates between phases, an append-only audit log, folder-scoped read and write permissions per agent, sandboxed execution for the agent that runs code, and an untrusted-input policy for the student-facing agent. Heavy reasoning models go only to the agents making judgment calls; the high-volume agent runs on a cheap model grounded by a RAG pack.

Seven of the 321 commits on Provider Research Factory are mine. They are the founding architecture and the first hand-verified end-to-end run. The other 314 were made by an orchestrator agent I defined, provisioned and gated. The build streams about 9.8 million NPPES registry rows, halts on any of 11 assertions, runs a compliance gate written as non-bypassable code, and deliberately ships no send path.

I finish my BS in Data Science at the University of the Punjab in October 2027. I'm also an AI/ML trainee at NETSOL Technologies through December 2026. I'm remote from Lahore, 1:00–10:00 PM PKT, a full working day's overlap with London. I work best where the automation has to be defensible to someone outside the team before it ships.

Chess and card games otherwise.

HOW I WORK

Four rules the pipelines are built on.

  1. 01

    Orchestrate deterministically.

    Use models only where judgment is actually required. The control flow, the state transitions and the stopping conditions are code.

  2. 02

    Gates are code, not policy documents.

    If it can be skipped under deadline pressure, it was never a gate.

  3. 03

    An unexercised guard is not a guard.

    I run every guard at least once against a case it should catch.

  4. 04

    Label the gap, let it surface.

    When a step can't be completed, I say so rather than dropping it silently.
