Robin Hana

Profile

AI Software Engineer who builds LLM systems for production use, with hands-on solution architecture experience. At Gemeente Utrecht, ArchAssist is under construction: a containerised Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that gives project architects traceable answers from architecture frameworks, legislation and internal standards. At Hijswinkel, n8n AI-agent workflows were designed and integrated with Odoo, guarded by RAGAS confidence scores and deterministic output monitors, with full ownership of the architecture, CI/CD and code standards of the in-house ERP.

Iterative by habit: prototypes first, modular code, strict conventions and no complexity a requirement does not ask for. Founder of a trading company since 2021, which connects technical design to business value and stakeholders.

    AI Software Engineer (graduation internship)

    Gemeente Utrecht, Architecture

    • Design and build ArchAssist, a RAG system that answers architecture questions for project architects consistently, correctly and traceably, from GEMMA, Common Ground, Project Start Architectures, legislation (Wmebv, EU AI Act) and technical standards.
    • Own the full system: requirements with architects and several departments, system design, data extraction and filtering, retrieval and generation, acceptance testing and applicable security standards.
    • Built deployment-ready from the start: containerised with Docker on Microsoft services, so the municipality can take over and extend it.
    • Test strategy on two levels: component tests for retrieval and generation, and system tests that match answers against source fragments.
    • Apply structure-aware chunking and design MCP connectors for read-only public sources (GEMMA, NORA) and Bizzdesign models.

    • Made AI output reliable in production with a human review step, RAGAS confidence scores and deterministic monitors that check output against source data.
    • Built custom Odoo modules in Python and JavaScript, including intercompany return synchronisation and a refactor of the product configurator.
    • Set up CI/CD with GitHub Actions, defined development standards and deployment strategy, and guarded code quality.

Projects

Penweir (Web & App)

Sep 2026 – Nov 2026

Self-hosted AI gateway that lets company data flow to LLMs in a controlled way. Systems such as Odoo, mailboxes and databases connect through a dashboard, and per use case the user decides what may pass through: PII redaction, field filtering, model choice and policy. The gateway stores no data itself, only metadata for audit. Pipelines, connectors and model adapters are plugins behind a stable contract, and every setting is also available as versionable YAML config, so control of the data stays with the user, without vendor lock-in.
