Hi, I'm Muhammad Hassaan

AI Research Engineer & Full Stack Developer

I build reinforcement learning evaluation environments for frontier models, and the backend systems around them: APIs, agentic pipelines, document intelligence, and full-stack applications. I also contribute upstream to the AI evaluation and data infrastructure projects I depend on.

Currently

• AI Research Engineer (RL) @ Tensium (UK) — building reinforcement learning evaluation environments for frontier AI models; designing tasks, verifiers, and sandboxed eval pipelines
• AI & Full Stack Engineer (Contract) @ Atlast — Barcelona (Remote)

Focus Areas

• RL evaluation environments for frontier models
• Agentic systems (LangChain / LangGraph, tool-calling agents)
• Scalable backend systems and production LLM pipelines
• Document intelligence, RAG, and OCR

Open Source Contributions

I contribute to AI evaluation and data infrastructure projects, focusing on correctness bugs that fail silently — code that returns the wrong answer without raising an error.

Merged

• Apache DataFusion #25402 — Order-insensitive aggregates carried ordering fields into their partial state schema, so min(v ORDER BY k) in a grouped query failed with an Arrow schema mismatch. Fixed at the builder so the inconsistent state never exists.
• DeepEval #2916 — Three silent benchmark mis-scoring bugs. MathQA's answer schema only allowed a–d while the dataset has five options, making ~20% of it unscoreable even for a perfect model. Also a DROP comma-delimiter corruption, and a BigBenchHard batch path truncating (A) to (A.
• DeepEval #2849 — UnboundLocalError crash when a document chunked to zero pieces, masking the real error message.
• InsForge #1786 — Concurrency bug: a credential read racing a cache invalidation repopulated the cache it was meant to clear.
• InsForge #1749 — OpenAI spec compliance: the gateway rejected valid assistant messages carrying tool_calls without content, breaking multi-turn agent tool loops.
• InsForge #1740 — Token usage reporting for streaming chat completions.
• Opik (Comet ML) #8120 — Removed an orphaned CI workflow that was broken on the project's default branch.

Co-authored — landed inside maintainers' release PRs

• Instructor #2597 — Docs lint failures, 34 down to 18. Shipped in Instructor 1.17.0.
• TraceRoot #1593 — Anthropic model pricing: fast-mode rate cards and dot-notation model IDs.

Open — PRs in review across Langfuse, LiteLLM, EleutherAI's lm-evaluation-harness, Hugging Face evaluate, Future AGI, Parea, Ragas, and Graphify.
