Istiaque Shaikat — Senior ML Engineer · GenAI · Agentic AI · MLOps

Senior ML Engineer at Zühlke based in Berlin. For 5+ years I've turned generative and agentic AI ideas into production systems for enterprise clients across retail, industrial, and telecom — on AWS and Azure. Three promotions in four years, and a Best Paper Award at ICPRAM 2023.

What I do

Generative AI & RAG — enterprise LLM applications and retrieval systems, from architecture through evaluation. One HR knowledge assistant I built reached 96% retrieval accuracy.

Agentic AI — multi-agent applications wired into enterprise knowledge bases, with the CI/CD, observability, and guardrails needed to run in production.

MLOps — cloud-native MLOps and CI/CD foundations that cut deployment failure rates by over 30% and reduced manual release work by ~70%.

Selected work

Enterprise work is under client NDAs, so these are described at a high level — no proprietary detail.

  • Real-time retail behavior analyticsSwiss telecom. On-premise system fusing computer vision, Whisper transcription, camera tracking, and local LLMs (Ollama) to analyze in-store movement, wait times, and staff interaction in real time. Computer Vision · Whisper · Ollama
  • Enterprise HR knowledge assistant (RAG)Swiss automation company. Full-stack retrieval system over HR policy documents; 96% retrieval accuracy, multilingual. Azure OpenAI · Azure AI Search · FastAPI
  • Agentic AI over an industrial knowledge basemultinational industrial client. Azure app connecting enterprise knowledge to Python AI agents (OpenAI SDK), with CI/CD and cloud-native deployment. Azure · OpenAI SDK · Python
  • Computer-vision MLOps for recyclingSwiss waste-treatment company. Azure ML pipelines with monitoring and optimization for recycling operations. Azure ML · MLflow

Research

  • 🏆 Best Paper Award — ICPRAM 2023. Data Streams: Investigating Data Structures for Multivariate Asynchronous Time-Series Prediction.
  • EEG-based emotion recognition (IJECE) — classifying affective states from EEG via time-frequency analysis. Signal Processing · Scikit-learn · TensorFlow
  • MSc, Data Analytics — Universität Hildesheim. Time-series prediction, deep learning, and distributed data processing.

Tools I work with

Let's connect

Happy to talk about production AI, agentic systems, or MLOps — collaboration, a hard problem, or the right role.
