Ahmed Elshahawy

CTO and AI architect with 20+ years building enterprise platforms. Currently leading technology at a GenAI startup where I shipped three production AI products from zero: Orxtra — an enterprise RAG platform with multi-agent orchestration deployed nationwide for Kuwait’s Ministry of Education; MerlinX — a conversational AI SaaS built on Python, FastAPI, MongoDB, Redis, handling real-time multi-agent conversations across WhatsApp/Messenger at scale; and Prism — a proprietary Small Language Model on self-managed infrastructure. Scaled engineering from 5 to 17+ FTEs, built CI/CD and AI evaluation pipelines, achieved 90% faster time-to-market and 50% higher answer accuracy. Previously architected a global decisioning platform across 28 countries for Standard Chartered Bank at Experian, and delivered large-scale data programs at EY and IBM across financial services, government, and telecom. I also enable engineering teams to ship faster using Claude Code and AI-powered development workflows. Looking for remote CTO, VP Engineering, or Senior AI Architect roles with full
