Dr.-Ing. Mostafa M. Amin — AI & Generative AI Consultant

Executive Value Proposition

I help companies design, build, and deploy AI systems that actually work in production — with a rare combination of deep research credibility, hands-on engineering, and product thinking.

  • 10+ years building ML & AI systems across research, startups, and enterprise
  • PhD in Generative AI / Foundation Models, with peer-reviewed impact
  • Former Google & Meta engineer, now Senior Researcher in Generative AI
  • Proven track record turning LLMs from demos into reliable business tools

What Clients Hire Me For

1. Turning LLMs into Reliable Products

I design end-to-end Generative AI systems that go beyond prompts and demos.

Value delivered:

  • Production-grade RAG architectures (retrieval, chunking, vector design)
  • Agentic workflows that automate real developer and business tasks
  • Robust evaluation, monitoring, and failure analysis for LLM outputs
  • Cost-aware design (latency, token usage, scalability)

Technologies: OpenAI GPT-4/3.5, LangChain, LangGraph, Qdrant, Django, FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes

2. Bridging Research and Engineering

I translate cutting-edge research into systems that engineering teams can maintain.

Value delivered:

  • Applying foundation models where they truly outperform classical ML
  • Avoiding over-engineering by knowing when not to use LLMs
  • Designing experiments that answer business questions, not just metrics
  • Helping teams move from prototype → MVP → scalable system

Grounded in peer-reviewed research across 15+ AI problems, not trend-chasing.

3. AI Strategy & Technical Due Diligence

I help leadership make correct AI decisions early, before expensive mistakes.

Value delivered:

  • Independent evaluation of AI feasibility and ROI
  • Architecture reviews for existing ML / LLM systems
  • Vendor & tooling assessments (LLMs, vector DBs, MLOps stacks)
  • Clear trade-offs between custom models vs APIs vs hybrid approaches

4. Advanced ML for Multimodal & Real-Time Systems

Before LLMs, I built real-time, multimodal AI systems — experience most GenAI profiles lack.

Value delivered:

  • Audio, text, and image models deployed in streaming environments
  • Low-latency inference pipelines (Redis, Triton, Kubernetes)
  • Scalable MLOps setups for long-running AI products
  • Mentoring teams on model reliability, data drift, and deployment

Selected Impact Highlights

Generative AI & LLMs

  • Led development of LLM-based developer tools (web platform + VSCode extension)
  • Built advanced RAG pipelines with syntax-aware chunking and vector indexing
  • Designed LLM agents for workflow automation and decision support
  • Published multiple IEEE & ACM papers on ChatGPT and foundation models

AI Products at Scale

  • Led AI development for real-time social signal prediction
  • Designed streaming ML systems handling audio, vision, and text
  • Deployed models via Docker, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, Triton
  • Mentored engineers and researchers across ML and NLP domains

Research & Thought Leadership

  • PhD on Foundation Models in Affective Computing
  • Author of 15+ peer-reviewed publications (IEEE TAC, Intelligent Systems, ACL)
  • Best Student Paper Award (IEEE CBMS)
  • Regularly cited in research on LLM evaluation and prompt sensitivity

  • Enterprise & Industry: Dynatrace, SYNCPILOT
  • Big Tech: Google, Meta (Facebook)
  • Academia: University of Augsburg, TU Munich, University of Freiburg
  • Global Developer Community: ICPC (World Finals judge & finalist)

Why Clients Trust Me

  • I’ve built and shipped, not just advised
  • I understand failure modes of LLMs, not just success demos
  • I can speak fluently with researchers, engineers, and executives
  • I optimize for long-term maintainability, not hype

Engagement Models

  • AI architecture & strategy consulting
  • Hands-on system design & prototyping
  • Technical due diligence & reviews
  • Short-term advisory or long-term fractional AI expert
