Senior Agentic AI Engineer Founder, Phoenix Group Karachi / Global Remote

Agentic AI. Healthcare AI. Planetary AI.
Delivered with principal ownership.

Fifteen years in production engineering. Four founded ventures. I design, lead, and ship autonomous multi-agent systems that replace manual workflows, compress operating cost, and convert unstructured enterprise data into revenue. Healthcare under HIPAA, planetary AI at Q1 publication grade, and special-needs education technology at fifty-eight-language scale — built on a parallel decade of classroom practice.

I. About

A builder who ships the work, not the slide.

Ruksh E Ibadat — Senior Agentic AI Engineer and Founder, Phoenix Group REI
Founder / Senior AI Engineer
Ruksh E Ibadat

I am a builder who happens to be a mother, and the two facts shape every decision I make. I trained as a computer scientist at Hamdard University and completed my Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence at NED University of Engineering and Technology, under the Department of Computer Information System Engineering. Between those milestones I shipped production software for more than a decade. Phoenix Group is the engineering and research home for that work.
