Portrait of Fahim Islam
HELLO, I'M

Md. Fahim Islam

I build AI systems that
retrieve, reason, and improve.

AI Engineer focused on LLM applications, retrieval, autonomous agents, memory, and evaluation.

Experience & involvement

Research, then product.

Hands-on AI engineering across retrieval, conversational systems, and model compression — from research prototypes to deployed applications.

Experience

Machine Intelligence Lab · North South University

Research Assistant — LLMs & Representation Learning

May 2025 – Dec 2025
  • Designed hierarchy-aware text representations using hyperbolic (Poincaré ball) embeddings, learned token-attention pooling, and multi-segment refinement to support coarse-to-fine semantic retrieval.
  • Built a conversational ADHD screening-support system that tracks symptom coverage across dialogue and uses a multi-model pipeline to extract evidence and produce structured assessment outputs.

Stack

Tools I reach for under the hood.

Retrieval, agents, and evaluation — from model internals to streaming interfaces.

Currently into

  • Building LLM applications with retrieval, tools, and structured workflows
  • RAG pipelines — retrieval, re-ranking, grounding, and evaluation
  • Agent workflows for multi-step AI applications
  • Efficient local LLM inference and model compression
  • Multimodal AI — text, vision, and audio

Let's build something that remembers.

I'm open to AI engineering roles and research collaborations — happy to talk about RAG, agents, or anything in between.
