About me

I am Mutte Ur Rehman, an Independent AI Engineer based in Paris. I build production AI systems end to end: LLM agents with tool calling, memory and multi-step planning; retrieval systems with citation-grounded generation; computer vision pipelines quantized for NVIDIA Jetson edge devices; and industrial IoT with custom PCBs and in-house firmware.

I care more about the “will this survive production” question than the “does the notebook run” question. I own systems from data pipeline through deployment, and I am equally comfortable being the outside pair of eyes on someone else’s architecture. Selected independent engagements: architecture reviews for on-prem LLM deployments, RAG builds, edge-AI deployments, and hardware audits.

Peer-reviewed publication in computer vision and control (ICEET 2019). MSc VIBOT, Université de Bourgogne. BE Mechatronics, Air University Islamabad.
