> Autonomous Systems, Small Language Models (SLMs), and Backend Systems Engineer.

## Summary
Asim Ansari (@asimibnakhlaque) specializes in deterministic agentic workflows, sub-1B parameter model distillation (Linux/Fedora Workstation), hybrid RAG retrieval engines (ChromaDB + SQLite BM25), and high-concurrency backend systems (Python/FastAPI, Java 21/Spring Boot 3).

## Core Systems & Case Studies

- [Sage Knowledge Vault](https://asimansari.com/projects/sage.html): Sealed offline MCP knowledge vault fusing ChromaDB dense search, SQLite FTS5 BM25, and Graphify AST graphs under Torikago isolation.
- [BillProds AI](https://asimansari.com/projects/billprods-ai.html): Item-level product intelligence ledger, receipt vision parsing, and price trend analytics with FastAPI and React PWA.
- [Teaching Loop](https://asimansari.com/projects/teaching-loop.html): Agentic Socratic tutoring platform with human-in-the-loop teacher intervention and ChromaDB vector retrieval.
- [Liz OS](https://asimansari.com/projects/brain-liz.html): Personal autonomous workstation brain built on Google Antigravity SDK and Open Knowledge Format (OKF v0.1).
