Nick Ashouri

AI & LLM Engineer · BI Developer

AI/LLM engineer currently shipping an OpenAI + LangChain pipeline on Azure that handles about 100 medical documents a day for a German insurance-rehabilitation service — ~90% average accuracy, 30 minutes of case-handling compressed to seconds. A parallel project at the same company: an open-source privacy filter that strips sensitive patient data from documents before any LLM sees them. Alongside: 20+ Power BI dashboards across eight departments, four peer-reviewed clinical papers (corresponding author on one), and a couple of trading bots running unattended on a VPS. My route here ran through a math-heavy MSc and several years translating between doctors and data, which is probably why working with language models felt less like a new skill and more like the place this kind of thinking was headed.

Experience

Tehran Municipality

IT Technician
  • Led the Smart City initiative for Tehran's District 6 — instrumented public electricity and water systems and built Elasticsearch and Kibana dashboards on top of SQL pipelines so district staff could see energy usage patterns directly, driving a 10% reduction in resource consumption and shrinking reporting cycles by 20%.
  • Ran tier 1–3 technical support for the district's IT estate over 3.5 years alongside CS studies, raising system uptime by 15%.

reha assist GmbH

Application Developer
  • Established the foundational BI infrastructure for a rehabilitation management organisation of 100+ employees — configured Enaio DMS document workflows and built the first-generation Power BI reports that all subsequent dashboards built upon.
  • Designed and implemented ETL pipelines connecting Navision ERP data to the reporting layer, setting the data architecture standards used across all later projects.

reha assist GmbH

LLM Engineer & BI Developer
  • Built and deployed an Azure Functions pipeline using OpenAI models and LangChain to classify, index, and summarise clinical case files against Enaio DMS — processing ~100 medical documents daily at ~90% average accuracy, collapsing per-document handling from ~30 minutes to seconds.
  • Tiered model selection by task: a lightweight model for OCR preprocessing and a reasoning model for clinical content — balancing throughput, cost, and quality at production scale rather than defaulting to one model end-to-end.
  • Delivered 20+ Power BI dashboards across sales, HR, operations, and executive reporting — consolidating Navision ERP, Enaio DMS, and HR sources into live views, including a bonus calculation reduced from 3 days to instant.
  • Working alongside the IRU research institute (Dr. Schmidt) — translated clinical questions from doctors and department heads into SQL pipelines, dashboards, and AI workflows, contributing to 4 peer-reviewed publications, including corresponding authorship on a 408-patient outcomes study (FL_Score −56%, Cohen's d=1.37, p<0.001).
  • Currently developing a patient-data privacy filter built on an open-source LLM to redact sensitive identifiers locally before any cloud inference — privacy-by-design for clinical AI.

Numbers & Impacts

0
Medical docs processed daily
Each working day, ~100 medical documents arrive — diagnoses, procedure reports, invoices, referrals. Previously each took ~30 minutes to classify and route manually. The Azure Function App now handles the full pipeline in seconds: OCR, classification, indexing, and case-summary extraction.
0
classification accuracy
Average accuracy across all document types — Verordnungen, AU certificates, surgical reports, invoices. Achieved through deliberate model selection: GPT-4.1-nano for OCR pre-processing, GPT-4.1 for complex reasoning and clinical extraction.
0
Power BI dashboards delivered
20+ dashboards delivered across 8 departments — executive, sales, HR, operations, IT. Integrating Navision ERP, Enaio DMS, and HR data into one real-time view. Includes a bonus calculation reduced from 3 days to instant.
0
Peer-reviewed publications
Four peer-reviewed publications in healthcare and rehabilitation research — one published in Die Unfallchirurgie (Oct 2025), three under review. Corresponding author on a 408-patient outcomes study (FL_Score −56%, Cohen's d=1.37, p<0.001). Full pipeline: SQL extraction, statistical analysis, clinical reporting.
