From Research to Production

I'm Muhammad Awais, an AI Project Managing Director with 5+ years building and shipping production-grade machine learning systems. I've directed $10M+ AI portfolios across the UK, USA, and Europe — leading teams of 35+ researchers and engineers.

From enterprise LLM integrations to graph neural network fraud detection preventing $1.8M in losses, my work lives in production, not in notebooks. I care about systems that hold up under real traffic, real data drift, and real business pressure — not demos that fall apart outside a sandbox.

Now, through Malik's AI Consulting & Engineering, I bring that same frontier-level execution to businesses in Pakistan and globally — with direct, founder-led delivery on every engagement.
