Hire a senior AI & cloud engineer.

Available for senior individual contributor roles, cloud architecture consulting, AI/LLM integration work, and 0→1 MVP builds. Remote-first across EMEA and US-East timezones. Inbox is fast.

What I work on.

• AI / LLM integration

  Adding production-grade LLM features to existing apps: Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines, agent workflows, structured outputs, tool use, prompt evals, and provider failover across Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, and Google Gemini.

• AWS architecture & migration

  Designing or migrating workloads to AWS serverless — Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFormation, Terraform. AWS Solutions Architect Associate certified.

• Full-stack web build (0→1)

  End-to-end product delivery: Next.js or React frontend, FastAPI or Django backend, PostgreSQL, authentication, observability, and CI/CD. Multi-tenant SaaS a specialty.

• Production hardening & rescue

  Take a flaky prototype and ship it: zero-downtime deploys, observability, cost optimization, security review, and on-call playbooks.

• Senior IC & full-time remote roles

  Open to senior software engineer, staff engineer, and tech lead positions in AI, cloud, or product engineering teams. Remote, EMEA/US-East friendly.

FAQ.

What kind of engineering work do you take on?

Production AI/LLM features (RAG, agents, structured outputs across Claude / GPT / Gemini), AWS serverless architecture, and full-stack web builds with Next.js, React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. Strongest on multi-tenant SaaS, AI-augmented workflows, and cloud-native systems where reliability matters.

Are you available for full-time roles?

Yes — open to senior software engineer, staff engineer, or tech lead positions, remote-first, ideally with EMEA or US-East timezone overlap. Also open to fractional and contract engagements.

What's a typical engagement length?

Contract work usually runs 4–16 weeks for a focused build (LLM feature integration, MVP, or AWS migration), or ongoing as a fractional senior engineer. Full-time roles are open-ended.

What timezones do you work across?

Based in Lahore, Pakistan (UTC+5 / Asia-Karachi). Standard overlap with EMEA all day and US-East mornings. Comfortable shifting hours for sync-heavy clients.

Do you have AWS certifications?

AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03), issued March 2024, valid through March 2027. Production experience across Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, S3, RDS, Textract, CloudFormation, and Terraform.

Which LLM and AI tools have you shipped to production?

Anthropic Claude (Sonnet and Opus), OpenAI GPT-4, Google Gemini, LangChain, embeddings and vector retrieval, AWS Textract for OCR, and custom evals. Recent work: Promptly (Claude-powered Socratic spec workspace) and Quanta (Gemini + Claude natural-language SQL with SELECT-only enforcement).
