Meet the founder.

REI, Ruksh E Ibaadat, started The ASI Society to share how production AI systems are really built, and to learn alongside the people building them.

Ruksh E IbaadatREI, founder

Senior AI Engineer and Enterprise Agentic AI Architect

REI designs enterprise AI systems that connect models, knowledge, tools and workflows, with reliable execution and outcomes that can be measured. Her work covers agent harness engineering, LLM infrastructure and LLMOps, and agent reliability, security and governance.

She is a Senior AI Engineer at Infixio in Karachi and the founder of Phoenix Group, whose companies work on healthcare AI, applied AI research and enterprise AI services. Her MSc research, MARS-MINDS, applies deep learning to NASA and ESA data from Mars.

REI stands for Discipline, Research, Innovation, Artificial Intelligence and Integrity. It is also how she runs the society.
