Welcome yes, a real human made this

00:01:25:06

Oh hey, you're actually here 👀

I wasn't expecting guests. The place is a bit of a mess — I just deployed something and I'm 90% sure it works.

I'm Tawfik, an AI Engineer. Which basically means I spend my days convincing computers to be smarter, and my evenings wondering if I'm the one being outsmarted. It's a great career. 🤖

Welcome to my little slice of the internet. Pull up a chair.

So what do I actually do? 🛠️

Short version: I build things with AI that are supposed to be useful — and occasionally, they are.

Long version: I work across the full stack of making AI actually function in the real world. Wrangling language models, building agents that don't go rogue, designing systems around retrieval and memory, and writing a lot of evals to figure out why something that worked yesterday suddenly doesn't. The glamour is nonstop. ✨

I genuinely love this stuff. Not in a "I put it on my LinkedIn" way — in a "I'm still thinking about this problem at 11pm" way.

What's on here 📦

Projects are the things I've built, with honest writeups about what went wrong before it went right. No fake "I envisioned this from day one" energy.

Articles are thoughts on AI, engineering, and whatever's been living rent-free in my head. I don't post on a schedule. I post when I have something worth saying that doesn't fit in a README.

One last thing 👋

If you got this far, we're basically friends now. Hit the contact page, say hi, argue with me about something, or just let me know you stopped by.
