Abdalla is a Full-Cycle AI Technical Product Engineer with 4+ years across software engineering,
AI research, and technical education. He is currently a Senior AI Engineer at DataCamp, optimizing one
of edtech's top-rated AI tutors through evaluation science and A/B testing.
As a former founding product engineer at Stakpak for a year, he operated in the heart of San Francisco's
Silicon Valley ecosystem, competing head-to-head in R&D and product engineering against frontier agentic
tools like Claude Code and OpenCode. He specializes in designing and optimizing agentic tools — from
real-time agentic search and context engineering to coding-agent evaluation frameworks, hallucination
detection, auto-prompt optimization, and intelligent retrieval systems that make AI agents more reliable and capable.
Along the way he's built deep hands-on exposure to DevOps and cybersecurity — from Kubernetes and
multi-platform deployment to security-hardened, self-hosted agent systems.
With 4+ years of combined experience across production AI systems, software engineering, and technical
education — including a Senior Teaching Assistant role at the German University in Cairo — he has shipped and
supervised work spanning ML, embedded systems, and autonomous systems. Previously the founding AI Engineer at
Seqoon, he led a team shipping production RAG chatbots and a real-time Egyptian-Arabic voice assistant
for real estate, and built an Islamic-books Notebook LLM (hybrid search, multi-agent summarization, podcast
generation) as a freelance project.
A Mechatronics Engineering graduate (Excellent with High Honors) with an A+ thesis on Deep Reinforcement
Learning for autonomous-vehicle navigation and an exchange semester at GUC Berlin. Beyond building products,
he's passionate about growing AI communities — organizing hackathons, giving talks, and creating spaces where
engineers learn and build together. He believes the best AI products come from engineers who care equally
about the research, the craft, and the people using them.
A few things I work with often:
- Real-time agentic search
- Agent evaluation & LLM-as-judge
- Context engineering
- Multi-agent orchestration
- Hallucination detection
- Fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA)
- RAG with fresh retrieval
- Agent recovery & reliability
