Samim Hamza. AI Engineer & Senior Software Engineer building intelligent applications and reliable software systems.
I'm an AI Engineer and Senior Software Engineer, currently pursuing a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Jyväskylä. I bring 5 years of software engineering experience across enterprise AI applications, backend services, and full-stack business platforms.
At Konecranes, I designed, evaluated, and deployed an enterprise RAG and multi-agent assistant on AWS, integrating AI backends with a Next.js and FastAPI application. I worked with stakeholders, implemented a feedback pipeline, and documented and handed over the system to the internal team.
My broader software engineering experience includes leading a team of eight engineers on Dara.af and developing production ERP and logistics systems. I work with Python, TypeScript, React, Next.js, NestJS, Laravel, PostgreSQL, and AWS, with an emphasis on maintainable architecture, testing, and practical business needs.
AI-Assisted Development
I use Claude Code and Cursor throughout development, while retaining responsibility for architecture, code review, and testing.
