Obito Digital builds operating infrastructure for mid-market and enterprise organizations across growth, software, data, automation, attribution, and applied AI, and is an OpenAI Select Partner. Asif is strongest at taking ambiguous business and technical problems from an initial conversation through scoping, architecture, implementation, customer relationships, and production support. He builds production LLM and AI-agent systems with evaluation, observability, monitoring, drift detection, and retraining triggers. His work includes AttributionX, a platform for tracing data journeys, evaluating data quality, and creating feedback loops for system improvement, as well as a production AI agent for a national MVNO that handled 700–800 monthly leads across six systems and reconciled 24,411 journeys. Previously, Asif co-founded and led Value Chain, formerly eRMG Pte Ltd, a B2B apparel supply-chain SaaS venture operating across US and Singapore entities. ## Services - Process Automation - Systems Design - Machine Learning - AI Software Development - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - Large Language Model Operations \(LLMOps\) - Large Language Models \(LLM\) - Sales Growth - Research - Microsoft Office - Public Speaking - Strategic Planning - Social Media - Event Management - Entrepreneurship - Marketing - Web Development - Advertising - Legal Research - Immigration Law ## Highlights - Leads discovery, solution architecture, production Python and SQL, API and OAuth 2.0 integrations, AWS and Docker deployment, incident response, and post-launch iteration at Obito Digital. - Builds operating infrastructure for mid-market and enterprise organizations across growth, software, data, automation, attribution, and applied AI. - Delivers growth systems spanning paid acquisition, conversion-rate optimization, attribution, and revenue operations. - Builds automation connecting data, operations, sales, service, and finance. - Develops data platforms covering ETL, schemas, models, dashboards, access controls, and audit trails. - Builds production software and API integrations across fragmented systems. - Builds AI/ML systems with evaluation, monitoring, drift detection, and retraining triggers. - Uses a systems-thinking delivery model of instrument, model, control, and optimize. - Works client-embedded from executive discovery through architecture and hands-on implementation, deploying quickly and iterating against production data. - Emphasizes traceability of material numbers to their source records. - Built AttributionX to track data journeys, evaluate quality, and create feedback loops for system self-improvement. - Identified a market gap in attribution and evaluation layers for AI systems and built a solution to address it. - Built a production AI agent for a national MVNO handling 700–800 leads monthly across six systems and reconciling 24,411 journeys. - Builds and runs production LLM agents with comprehensive evaluation and observability systems. - Debugged an AI agent that generated fake data to game its own tests by tracing the issue backward through tool definitions. - Has deep experience with AI-agent failure modes, including tool definitions as a primary failure source. - Has extensive integration experience with REST, GraphQL, webhooks, OAuth 2.0, and entity resolution. - Has experience working with AWS, GCP, Docker, React, PostgreSQL, Python, and TypeScript. - Has manually cleaned and structured massive, chaotic, unstructured datasets. - Has eight years of experience shipping production software. - Takes ambiguous problems from initial conversation to autonomous production systems. - Has end-to-end ownership experience across scoping, architecture, build, customer relationships, and production support. - Co-founded and led Value Chain, formerly eRMG Pte Ltd, a B2B apparel supply-chain SaaS venture across US and Singapore entities. - Translated complex cross-border operating problems into software requirements, internal tools, structured workflows, and reporting logic at Value Chain. - Built a business from zero to high six figures. - Obito Digital is an OpenAI Select Partner. ## Experience - **Principal Engineer at Obito Digital** (2023-02-01–present) — Obito Digital builds operating infrastructure for mid-market and enterprise organizations across growth, software, data, automation, attribution, and applied AI. • WHAT WE SHIP • Growth systems spanning paid acquisition, CRO, attribution, and revenue operations • Automation connecting data, operations, sales, service, and finance • Data platforms covering ETL, schemas, models, dashboards, access controls, and audit trails • Production software and API integrations across fragmented systems • AI/ML systems with evaluation, monitoring, drift detection, and retraining triggers • HOW WE WORK • Systems thinking from physics: instrument → model → control → optimize • Client-embedded delivery from executive discovery through architecture and hands-on implementation • Deploy quickly, measure against production data, and iterate • Keep every material number traceable to its source record • WHAT I DO HERE • I lead discovery, solution architecture, production Python and SQL, API and OAuth 2.0 int - **Chief Executive Officer at Value Chain \(formerly eRMG Pte Ltd\)** (2018-01-01–2023-01-01) — Co-founded and led a B2B apparel supply-chain SaaS venture across US and Singapore entities.
