I’m Insha Yaqoob—an Applied AI and Python engineer in Milan. I combine 2+ years of production backend experience with hands-on work in RAG, AI agents, semantic search and full-stack product development.
Projects where retrieval, orchestration and software architecture work together—built around user value and reliability.
An end-to-end clinical information assistant designed to answer questions from supplied medical documents through retrieval-augmented generation.
An AI-assisted workflow exploring how agents combine retrieval, tool use and structured reasoning to support research and code-oriented tasks.
A product-oriented experiment coordinating AI capabilities and software workflows to turn ambiguous requests into structured actions.
International hackathons strengthened my ability to scope quickly, collaborate under pressure and turn unfamiliar technologies into working products.
First-place finish in an international software and AI competition.
Finalist for an agent-based solution built through rapid experimentation.
Winner of a technical challenge using modern GPU-powered web technology.
My AI work is grounded in real software delivery: requirements, APIs, databases, testing, debugging and product collaboration.
Developed Python/Django and PostgreSQL applications, REST APIs, operational workflows, reporting tools and integrations for a US transportation client. Collaborated with frontend, QA and business stakeholders; tested releases, resolved defects and documented changes.
Developed Django REST services, relational data models and backend features integrated with React interfaces. Performed functional testing, debugging and query optimisation.
Comfortable moving across the stack—from retrieval quality and model experiments to APIs, data models and interfaces.
LLMs, RAG, prompt engineering, semantic search, tool use, AI agents and grounded generation.
Python, pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/Keras, NLP and model evaluation.
Django, FastAPI, Flask, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, MySQL, data modelling and integrations.
React, JavaScript, Git, testing, documentation, Agile teamwork, debugging and requirements analysis.
