Hey there!

I'm Yahya
Shimi.

AI Engineer building production LLM systems in financial services.

I build RAG pipelines and agents that turn slow, manual document work into something that happens in seconds. Most of my focus goes to the parts that decide whether AI actually ships: retrieval, evaluation, and infrastructure that holds up on real data.

Impressive works

A selection of systems I've built across retrieval, agents, and the data infrastructure around them. Each one started as a real problem to solve.

Financial Document Intelligence Platform

Production system that processes complex financial contracts end-to-end using RAG and LangGraph agents on AWS Bedrock. Reduced a 30-45 minute manual review process to seconds at 95%+ accuracy.

MCP Data Warehouse Server

An MCP server over a DuckDB financial warehouse: exposes the schema as resources and guarded, read-only SQL tools so an LLM can safely answer analytical questions, with a per-table allow-list and audit logging.
