Sarah Henia
AI Solutions & Software Engineer
I build AI systems that run in production, with a human approving every step that matters, and the governance to prove it.

Same facts, different emphasis.
AI solutions engineer who turns business needs into governed AI systems that run in production, and can explain them to engineers and executives alike. Designed the governance of three real agentic systems (GDPR, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001), managed a product roadmap, and presents in English, French and Arabic.

Systems I built
Three systems, each with a human in the loop
They run inside private company repositories, so the code is not public. The stories are: problem, architecture, decisions, governance and what each one taught me.

Market-intelligence system
A multi-agent system that reads the market in English and Arabic and proposes leads to a human.
- Allow-listed sources, bilingual ingestion, schema-enforced LLM extraction.
- One knowledge graph: every claim traces back to its source document.
- One AI gateway for every model call; human review before any CRM write.

Dawn
An autonomous project-management agent. Nothing is written until a human approves it.
- Turns recorded meetings into tasks with owner, priority and due date.
- Graph memory in SurrealDB with hybrid RAG and a Redis context cache.
- Human approval by email before any write to Microsoft Planner.

Journey
From business intelligence to shipping governed AI
ESSECT, Tunis · 2020 to 2023
Bachelor's degree, Business Intelligence
Where I learned to read data before writing code: modeling, SQL, reporting, and how a business actually asks questions.
ESPRIT, Tunis · 2023 to 2026
Engineering degree, Software Engineering
Full-stack JavaScript first, then .NET, Python and cloud. The academic projects below come from these three years.
2024 to 2025
Cisco CCNA, AWS Cloud Practitioner, NVIDIA DLI
Cisco CCNA for networks, AWS Cloud Practitioner for the cloud, and four NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute courses: Adversarial Machine Learning, Building RAG Agents with LLMs, Fundamentals of Deep Learning, and Applications of AI for Predictive Maintenance.
The SamurAI · 2025
Product Manager, Dojo
Managed the roadmap and backlog of Dojo, an AI-powered platform that generates on-demand test labs, turning stakeholder needs into specifications and sprint priorities.
CED Tunisia · Feb to Aug 2026
Software Engineering Intern, Collaboris
Built Collaboris end to end in three releases under department-head review, and presented the architecture, governance and business case to CED executives.
The SamurAI · 2026 to present
Software Architect & AI Solution Integrator
Designing the market-intelligence system and its governance: one graph, one gateway, one human.
Earlier work
Academic projects, 2023 to 2025
Built at ESPRIT, usually in teams and in sprints. Smaller in scope, but this is where the habits came from.

About
Software engineer. AI solution integrator.
I design and build systems where a model proposes, a person decides and a database remembers why. Right now that is Dawn, in production since March 2026, and the market-intelligence system in pilot. Before that it was Collaboris, delivered in three releases at CED Tunisia.
I came to software through data: a business-intelligence degree first, then software engineering at ESPRIT. It shows in how I work. I care about what a number means as much as about the code that produces it, and I write the architecture document before the first commit.
I work across the stack: Python and FastAPI, C# and .NET, Angular and TypeScript, SurrealDB, Redis and SQL Server, deployed on AWS and Azure. I present in Arabic, English and French, to engineers and to executives.
