Senior🎓
Top SchoolOsaid Nasir is a Senior Applied Research Engineer at LinkedIn with nine years of experience building and deploying production-grade ML systems focused on LLMs, multimodal reasoning, and AI safety. He leads initiatives in LLM benchmarking, RAG for multi-agent review systems, synthetic data generation, and automated red-teaming that cut unsafe model scores by half, and has filed multiple US patents around generative agents and OCR. Comfortable shipping end-to-end solutions, he has hands-on background in backend engineering and test automation—contributing to notable open-source projects like phpMyAdmin and the extruct metadata extractor—bringing rigorous engineering practices to research problems. Based in Bengaluru, he combines a data-centric approach (including a library for systematic dataset fixes and a novel noise-reduction library) with production sensibilities to improve recall and precision in safety-critical pipelines. An unusual thread through his work is blending classical logic teaching and GAN research into practical model-alignment techniques that prioritize measurable, deployable gains.
