AI consulting and implementation

Senior AI delivery you can put in front of a client.

Practical AI, taken from prototype to production and handed over running. You work directly with the engineer who builds it: no junior handoff, no account-manager buffer.

Track record you can check

A senior practitioner, not a pitch.

Ten-plus years building and shipping production AI, from PhD research to a funded startup as Chief AI Officer. Here is the arc, and the evidence.

  • 10+years building production AI & ML
  • 100+technical articles written
  • €2.65Mseed round co-founded
  • Recommender systems and AI agents for a retail-technology engagement.
  • ML workflows on Azure Machine Learning and Databricks for an enterprise telecom engagement.
  • RAG, MLOps, and anomaly detection across support, healthcare, and energy.

You work directly with Isaac as principal on every engagement. When scope needs it, Nazmi scales with a small network of vetted senior collaborators — never a junior handoff.

What Nazmi does

Three fields Nazmi takes to production.

Not a broad menu — three areas where Nazmi ships, each backed by systems in production, published writing, or research you can read.

AI agents & automation

Agents and LLM workflows that plan, use your tools, and get evaluated before they reach users.

multi-agent systems · knowledge graphs · agent memory · agent evaluation

Production ML & MLOps

Models out of the notebook and kept alive in production — monitored, repeatable, owned by your team.

Azure ML · AWS · GCP · Databricks · MLOps · recommenders · ranking · anomaly detection

On-prem / private

Private & on-prem AI

Capable AI inside your own walls — small, private models for when data cannot leave and API bills will not scale.

private LLMs · on-prem deployment · fine-tuning · RL optimization · efficient inference

How Nazmi works with you

Bring Nazmi in the way that fits.

Most work comes in through partners and recruiters who need AI hands they can trust with a client — plus direct company projects.

For delivery & technology partners

AI implementation capacity for your client projects, from architecture to deployment, without adding headcount. Brought in as a peer.

For recruiters & staffing

A senior AI practitioner for contract, fractional, and advisory placements.

For companies

Practical AI projects with a real workflow, owner, and data path, taken from idea to a system your team can run.

Selected writing

Depth you can read.

A selection from 100+ technical articles on agents, RAG, small-model post-training, and inference. The thinking behind how Nazmi ships.

AI Agents in ProductionIsaac Kargar

Before an AI Agent Touches Customer Data: Six Production Gates It Must Pass

A demo proves an agent can sometimes do the job. Production requires evidence it can operate safely, predictably, and recoverably. Six gates every team should pass before letting an agent near real data.

Context Compaction in LLM AgentsIsaac Kargar

Context Compaction in LLM Agents: Part 2 - Learning to Compact

The next frontier of context compaction is not a better heuristic but a model that decides for itself when, what, and how to compress. A look at SelfCompact, CompactionRL, and ACON.

Context Compaction in LLM Agents: Part 3 - Post-Hoc Compilation

Every compaction method we have covered so far works within a single run. Lerim takes a different approach: wait until the run is done, then compile durable signal for the next agent.

Context Compaction in LLM Agents: Part 4 - Theory and Safety

Is there a unified way to think about all compaction methods, from KV cache eviction to agent memory? And what happens when compaction silently erases safety constraints?

Small-Model Distillation — Part 5: On-Policy Self-Distillation for a 0.8B SQL Agent

I had a 0.8B SQL agent scoring 69/220 on the fixed eval split, built through four stages of distillation from larger teacher models. The question was whether…

Small-Model Distillation — Part 4: On-Policy Probability Distillation for a 0.8B SQL Agent

I started this post from the best hard-token correction-family SQL agent I had so far: unsloth/Qwen3.5-0.8B, evaluated at 67/220 on the fixed eval set. That…
