Portrait of Maahir Garg, AI Engineer at GIC, in Singapore

I'm Maahir Garg, and I build careful systems for unruly data.

AI engineer at GIC. Computer Science & Quantitative Finance at NUS. Right now: building an agentic CLI for classified-data environments. Previously: patent-pending hand-tracking on Vision Pro for stroke rehab.

    GIC

    AI Engineer

    ● now

    Built an internal Claude Code-style CLI agent from scratch on Chainlit with modular tool-calling and a skill-routing system over proprietary models. Adopted by 100% of my team as the primary AI interface where classified-data constraints rule out Copilot. Also deploying agentic LLM pipelines that automate internal audit workflows end-to-end; two previously manual data sources now run effectively instantly.

    Interactive 3D Lab

    Swift Developer, Apple Vision Pro

    Co-inventor of a patent-pending multimodal tracking framework for hand–eye coordination assessment in stroke rehabilitation, unifying Apple Vision Pro and iPhone into one tracking surface at 89% cross-device accuracy (Swift, RealityKit). Ran controlled user studies with healthcare practitioners and iterated system design from empirical findings. Paper in preparation.

Here, currently

On the desk

  • building an agentic CLI tool at GIC
  • reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications
  • optimizing a reasoning pipeline on clause-extracted data
  • drafting a paper on multimodal hand tracking for stroke rehab

Off the desk

  • badminton on wednesdays
  • three F1 tabs open somewhere
  • chess, mostly blitz, losing honestly
  • photographing whatever the light does

Letters

If any of this reads like something you'd want to talk about, models, optimization, pipelines, or a quiet photograph, write to me. I reply.
