Asadullah Shafique
Agentic AI Engineer | Multi-Agent Systems Architect | Enterprise AI Strategist
Bridging AI potential with financial services reality through orchestration, compliance, and scalable adoption.
Professional Summary
Agentic AI Engineer building multi-agent systems for regulated industries, backed by 25+ years of operating a manufacturing business. Most agentic pilots in financial services die at the compliance review — not because the models are weak, but because a system that cannot show why it reached a conclusion cannot be signed off by a second line of defence. My work makes that reviewable: typed orchestration with an auditable route, a written constitution with a deterministic layer that needs no model, and evaluation that reads the execution trace rather than trusting the prose.
Founder of Texcot Embroidery Sourcing House and creator of the Textile ERP Platform, targeting fabric mills, CMT units and garment exporters across Faisalabad, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Karachi and Lahore — so the domain intelligence is built from inside an industry rather than modelled from outside one. Completed 6 consecutive Panaversity Hackathons (Bronze → Silver → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Agent Factory), each build carrying the last one forward.
Agentic AI Mastery
Twelve competencies, four categories. Each cites the path that demonstrates it.

Hackathon Achievements
Panaversity Hackathon Series: 6 consecutive builds · Bronze → Agent Factory
Agent Factory (H5)
General Agent (Claude Code) manufactures Custom Agents (OpenAI Agents SDK). SKILL.md monetization. Digital FTE deployed on Kubernetes + Dapr. 117-slide deck.
Cloud-Native Deployment (H4)
Full K8s stack: Kubernetes + Docker + Dapr + Kafka + Prometheus/Grafana/Jaeger + Helm + GitHub Actions CI/CD.
Advanced Todo (H3)
149 tests passing. Recurring todos, team collaboration, AI suggestions, triple-layer Constitutional AI (7 BLOCK + 5 FLAG patterns).
AI-Powered Todo (H2)
89 tests passing. Full-stack Constitutional AI todo. 70% code reuse from H1.
Course Companion FTE (H1)
Zero-Backend-LLM architecture. Digital FTE model. 70% code reuse from H0.
Personal AI CTO (H0)
Constitutional AI foundation. Established spec-first, four-session methodology.
Flagship Projects
21 open-source platforms, one per problem domain
21 multi-agent platforms, each with its own FastAPI gateway, Helm chart, test suite and public repository — reference implementations running on synthetic domain data. 736 test functions across the 21 repositories, counted from source on 2026-09-10; 6 of them run those tests in CI. All open source.
Multi-Agent Financial Intelligence
Settles 8 of 14 compliance principles by arithmetic — a full screen in under 2ms with zero model calls, and 94 tests that pass with no API key and no network.
Inventory & Accounting for Wholesalers
Business-isolated books with a row-locked, idempotent posting path. 142 tests, including two-business leak tests and PostgreSQL oversell races. Credit-limit guard, void-by-reversal, WhatsApp collections desk, and Munshi AI with 5 read-only tools behind a deterministic constitution. Live no-signup demo; no production customer yet.
This portfolio — and its own proof
A triage orchestrator over four specialists, a real MCP server on the official SDK, and a written constitution verified blocking 4 of 4 violations with no model reachable.
Unified B2B + B2C Marketplace
One codebase serving both retail checkout and a wholesale RFQ engine, with JazzCash, Easypaisa and card payments. PKR-native, three languages.
Multi-tenant fabric mill ERP, Module 1 of 7 live
Roll register, yarn stock ledger, weaving/knitting, LC landed cost and roll traceability, isolated by PostgreSQL row-level security. 42 tests against real Postgres; live no-signup demo. CMT billing, ledgers and financials are specced, not built.
A General Agent that manufactures Custom Agents
Two-tier architecture where Claude Code manufactures OpenAI Agents SDK agents; SKILL.md as portable intelligence units. Platinum tier, deployed on Kubernetes + Dapr.
Key Projects
Textile ERP Platform (Pakistan)
Founder
Full-scale ERP targeting Pakistan's textile and garment industry, from Fabric Mills to CMT units to garment exporters.
- ›Fabric Mill Module (complete, live demo): roll/lot register with partial issuance, append-only yarn stock ledger, weaving & knitting sessions, LC imports with landed cost, roll traceability, 7 deterministic Mill Pulse alerts; tenant isolation via PostgreSQL row-level security, 42 tests
- ›CMT Core (specced, next): order lifecycle, auto-billing (4 bill types), BOM inventory, production sessions, dispatch
- ›Financial (specced): party ledgers, aging, P&L and cash flow for multi-city hubs (Faisalabad, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Karachi, Lahore)
Agent Factory (H5)
Lead Developer
Two-tier agentic architecture: General Agent manufactures Custom Agents at scale.
- ›General Agent (Claude Code) manufactures Custom Agent (OpenAI Agents SDK)
- ›SKILL.md files as portable, reusable, monetizable intelligence units
- ›Digital FTE pricing model targeting OpenAI Apps ecosystem (800M users)
- ›Deployed on Kubernetes + Dapr
Professional Experience
Founder & CEO, CMT Stitching Operations
Texcot Embroidery Sourcing House
2020 – Present
Karachi, Pakistan
- ›Engineered a multi-agent orchestration layer for financial-services research and Shari'ah screening, with separation of powers enforced structurally — no agent holds two of market data, weighting and verdict — rather than by prompt
- ›Implemented MCP interoperability so agent capability is exposed as read-only tools on a protocol server, verified against a live client, instead of as bespoke HTTP endpoints
- ›Architected deterministic guardrails from a written constitution, with a pattern layer that needs no model — verified blocking 4 of 4 violations with no model reachable, so enforcement survives a provider outage
- ›Architected the Textile ERP Platform — order lifecycle, four auto-billing types, party ledgers and BOM inventory — to digitize Pakistan's textile value chain
- ›Founded and operate a CMT stitching unit of 30–35 staff, running the full manufacturing lifecycle from sample fabric and design analysis through machine allocation, bulk production and inspection
- ›Lead the business's digital marketing across social channels and lead-generation funnels
Marketing Manager
JK Embroidery
2016 – 2020
Karachi, Pakistan
- ›Directed marketing and production planning for embroidery manufacturing operations
- ›Engineered staff and equipment scheduling to clear production bottlenecks, implementing process improvements that held under peak order flow
- ›Led a team of 30–35 staff, setting priorities against available resources and work-order flow
Country Manager / Buying Agent
Steven Berry
2003 – 2005
International
- ›Managed and organized international shipments, providing clients guidance throughout procurement processes
- ›Ensured products met established international quality standards across garment and textile categories
- ›Conducted pre-production, in-production, and final inspection of apparel, accessories, and textile products
Digital Marketing Services
Digital marketing strategy for Pakistani SMEs, and on offer to real estate and construction teams in the UAE:
- ›Social media management (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn) + paid advertising campaigns
- ›Property portal listings, lead generation funnels, and monthly performance reporting
- ›Tailored strategies for GCC/expat/Pakistani diaspora investors; AED-priced service packages
