# Bakr Mostafa Bakr

> Forward Deployed AI Engineer — Cairo, Egypt

I work at the boundary between business operations, software engineering and applied AI — translating incomplete requirements into secure, observable systems that can actually run in production.

## Current work
- Title: Senior Software Development Engineer
- Organization: GB Corp

## Capabilities
- **Problem → Production**: Translate operational ambiguity into architecture, implementation, deployment and an operable handoff.
- **Applied AI Systems**: Integrate agents, LLMs, MCP, APIs and deterministic business rules without treating the model as the whole product.
- **Enterprise Django**: Build role-based, workflow-driven applications with PostgreSQL, integrations, security controls and production support.
- **Integration Engineering**: Connect existing systems, data, tools and workflows instead of rebuilding what already works.
- **Security & Reliability**: Design for auditability, least privilege, reversibility, validation, observability and failure containment.
- **Rapid Field Learning**: Ship small, observe real usage, refine quickly and turn successful patterns into reusable building blocks.
