Mahmoud Chaer
AI & Software Engineer
I build intelligent systems powered by large language models and autonomous agents, turning cutting-edge AI research into scalable, real-world applications.
About Me
Hey! I'm Mahmoud, a computer engineering student at the American University of Beirut with a passion for artificial intelligence and machine learning.
I specialize in building AI-powered applications that solve real-world problems. From medical diagnostics platforms to autonomous business assistants, I love turning research papers into production-ready systems.
Currently, I'm working part-time at Murex on performance-critical C++ systems and large-scale financial platforms. I'm also completing my degree and exploring agentic AI systems in my personal projects.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me reading the latest AI research papers, contributing to open-source projects, or experimenting with new ML frameworks.
