ReebalSami

Data Scientist and AI Engineer working at the intersection of business and modern AI. Over five years at OTTO Group built deep fluency in corporate data flows, financial systems, and cross-functional stakeholder work. Today I orchestrate end-to-end AI solutions across multiple layers — from multi-agent LLM systems and automated news-crawler pipelines to deep-learning models for computer vision. I built and deploy this portfolio on AWS CDK. Comfortable navigating modern AI-assisted development with the latest tools and the legacy enterprise systems many companies still run on. Currently writing my Master's thesis on GraphRAG Document Intelligence as part of my M.Sc. Data Science & AI at FH Wedel, while shipping production code on the side.
