Hello, I'm
Youhana Sheriff
Senior Software Engineer—Edge-AI & LLM Systems
I build AI that runs in the real world — on-device & edge inference on constrained hardware, LLM/RAG systems, and the full-stack apps that ship them.
An electronics engineer who deploys AI on constrained hardware. Full-stack capability across mobile, web, and cloud — but edge AI is where I specialize.

About
Edge-AI & LLM Systems Engineer
An electronics engineer building AI systems that run on constrained hardware. I specialize in edge AI, on-device inference, and LLM/RAG systems — with full-stack capability across mobile, web, and cloud.
LLM/RAG Systems Engineer
Builds LLM applications with RAG, embeddings, vector search, agent memory, model orchestration, and practical evaluation loops for real product workflows.
Edge-AI Systems Engineer
Electronics engineer deploying AI on constrained hardware: YOLO/ONNX pipelines, LoRA and MLX fine-tuning, llama.cpp, quantization, and edge-focused reasoning systems.
Full-Stack & Mobile Engineer
Ships the apps around the AI: Flutter, React Native Expo, Next.js, TypeScript, Firebase, AWS, offline-first flows, payments, GPS, and app-store delivery.
Cloud & Product Infrastructure
Designs cloud-backed product systems with AWS, GCP, Firebase, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, GitHub Actions, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL.
Open Source Package Author
Publishes packages for LLM agent memory, AWS cleanup, Flutter Stripe Connect, and type-safe Dart translation code generation.
Philosophy
How I Work
End-to-End Ownership
I prefer working in small, high-ownership teams where I can own features from schema design to polished UI—and ship them myself.
AI With Intent
I don't bolt on AI for the sake of it. I pick the right model, structure the prompt/RAG pipeline, and measure quality—because the value is in how and why you use AI.
Quality Code
I write code with long-term maintenance in mind: typed languages, good CI/CD, observability, and patterns that future-me will thank current-me for.
Portfolio
AI Engineering & Systems Work
Open-source AI systems first, then shipped AI products, then full-stack and mobile work.
AI Engineering & Open Source
Open-source systems work across edge inference, RAG, agents, and AI media tooling.

Split-architecture edge AI that pairs real-time YOLO/RF-DETR detection with a LoRA-tuned TinyLlama reasoning model for constrained NPU/BPU hardware.
pocket_ai
Offline real-time obstacle-detection assistant that turns a camera feed into spoken guidance with YOLO11, depth estimation, and spatial reasoning.
SimpleMem
Lifelong memory for LLM agents with semantic structured compression, multi-view indexing, adaptive retrieval, and vector search.
llm-rag
RAG over PDFs with document ingestion, embeddings, vector similarity search, and LLM-powered question answering.
video-composer
AI short-form video pipeline for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels using TTS, Whisper transcription, GPT-4 Vision validation, and stock-footage assembly.
AI Products Shipped to Users
AI-enabled products packaged into mobile and web experiences for real users.
Kizu
