About

A builder, by compulsion.

I have a severe case of shiny-object syndrome and I cure it by building things.

If I can do it, I do it. If I can't, I learn. Lately that means shipping multi-agent systems, computer-vision pipelines, and LLM products at production scale.

AI Engineer at Indigo AI by day. Two revenue-generating products by night. I go by Bilal.

What's interesting
  • Human-in-the-loop retraining loop — clinicians correct false positives, model improves cycle over cycle
  • Patient portal compresses referral-to-diagnosis from days to under 5 minutes
  • Dataset curated and labelled in-house, then progressively expanded via active learning

What's interesting
  • PDF → structured marks streamed token-by-token; the UI lays in feedback as it arrives
  • Per-user quotas + IP-based abuse protection — the abuse model paid for itself
  • Stripe checkout, usage analytics, and automated weakness detection across submissions
