About Hamid Akhlaque

AI/ML Engineer currently operating in a production environment, building and deploying intelligent systems that move beyond experimentation into real-world control and decision-making. My work sits at the intersection of reinforcement learning, GenAI, Natural Language Processing and computer vision, with direct exposure to live systems, monitoring, and stakeholder-facing outcomes.Core Highlights• Architected and deployed a production-grade reinforcement learning HVAC control system using Soft Actor-Critic, owning the full lifecycle from modeling to observability across live AHU sites.• Designed ML infrastructure patterns and tooling to standardize training, deployment, and monitoring, improving reliability and speed of bringing new models into production.• Built end-to-end GenAI and computer vision systems (RAG, multimodal retrieval, autonomous perception) handling high-dimensional data, real-time constraints, and complex edge cases.Where I Perform BestI perform best in problem-driven environments where models must survive real-world constraints—production systems, imperfect data, latency limits, and business scrutiny. I’m most effective when given ownership over ambiguous ML problems that require both deep technical execution and translation of model behavior into outcomes stakeholders can trust.

Experience

1. Associate Software Engineer - Ai

   Smart Joules

   Oct 2025 — Present · Delhi, IN

   Architected and deployed a production-grade reinforcement learning HVAC control system using Soft Actor-Critic, running live across AHU sites with sustained elimination of temperature violations and significant reduction in combined temperature–humidity violations.• Owned end-to-end observability for RL systems, designing Grafana dashboards to track 50+ diagnostics metrics for real-time debugging, performance tracking, and stakeholder reporting.• Established a standardized ML pipeline template (MLOrchestrator) covering training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring to improve consistency and reduce friction in taking models to production.
