Python Developer & LLM Engineer crafting intelligent AI solutions | Building production-ready applications with RAG systems, multi-model AI, and seamless API integrations

Hey there! I'm Aaron Kakembo, a Python Developer and LLM Engineer based in Kampala, Uganda, with a passion for building AI-powered solutions that actually solve real-world problems.
Since 2021, I've been deep in the trenches of AI development, creating production-ready applications that serve real users through platforms like Hugging Face Spaces. My journey has been all about pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Large Language Models, RAG architecture, and intelligent automation.
What I Do:
I specialize in building intelligent systems that make developers' lives easier and businesses more efficient. From fintech API assistants that slash integration time by 70% to multilingual meeting transcription systems that process content 10x faster than traditional models, I focus on creating tools that deliver tangible results.
My Technical Playground:
I work extensively with Python, leveraging frameworks like LangChain, Transformers, and Gradio to build sophisticated AI applications. Whether it's implementing RAG systems with vector databases, orchestrating multi-model AI architectures, or crafting secure API integrations, I love diving into complex technical challenges and emerging with elegant solutions.
Notable Projects:

Hybrid Meeting Minutes Generator: An AI transcription system supporting 7 languages with blazing-fast 3-15 second processing times, featuring both local (100% private) and cloud processing options
ocs4dev: A specialized AI assistant for African payment gateways (MTN MoMo, Pesapal, Airtel) that's helping developers integrate fintech APIs 70% faster
RepoNuke: A cross-platform DevOps automation tool with enterprise-grade safety features and nuclear-level security protocols
BroHosts: A full-featured movie streaming platform built with React and Supabase that rivals major streaming services

My Approach:
I believe in building with security and performance in mind from day one. Whether it's implementing K-anonymity for password checking, optimizing AI models for various hardware configurations (from RTX 4090s to CPU-only systems), or ensuring GDPR compliance, I never compromise on best practices.
Beyond Code:
When I'm not coding, I'm exploring the latest developments in AI/ML, contributing to open-source projects, and sharing my work on GitHub and Hugging Face. I'm particularly interested in making AI accessible and practical for African developers and businesses.
I'm always excited to collaborate on innovative projects, especially those involving AI/ML, fintech integrations, or developer tools. Let's build something amazing together!
