AI Full Stack Developer | React Native & Expo | Web, RAG & LLM Agents

I build AI features that survive contact with production, inside products that are already live and shipping to real users, on mobile and on the web. I'm an AI product engineer with 8+ years of production experience. I'm part of Toptal's vetted network (top ~3%) and the founder of Inseed, a boutique product studio on Upwork. Between direct work and the studio, I've delivered AI, mobile, and web products for Carrier, National Debt Relief, Hazel Health, Kinobody, Bookvid, and YuMe, from seed-stage startups to Fortune 500 teams. Most AI developers have never shipped to the App Store. Most app developers have never shipped a RAG pipeline. I do both, on mobile and on the web, and I've done it under HIPAA. AI work I have actually shipped: - AI agents: multi-agent LLM pipelines (orchestration plus image generation) inside a live, end-to-end-encrypted app - RAG and semantic search: OpenAI embeddings, vector search, ranking, and natural-language search over real inventory - Real-time voice AI with Gemini Live, backed by long-term vector memory (pgvector) - AI price valuation and market intelligence over scraped auction data - Multi-tenant, role-based access control (RBAC) for regulated SaaS platforms - AI integration with every major provider: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini Where the AI lands, on both surfaces: - Web: Next.js and React dashboards, Node and NestJS services, Postgres and Supabase - Mobile: React Native and Expo, managed and bare, through App Store and Play Store review - 1M+ download enterprise app (Carrier); HIPAA-aligned telehealth live across 200+ hospitals - Offline-first architecture, push notifications, deep links, native modules, OTA updates - TypeScript-first, with unit, integration, and E2E coverage (Jest, Detox, Playwright) Stack I work in daily: React Native, Expo, TypeScript, React, Next.js Node.js, NestJS, Python, GraphQL, REST APIs OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, RAG, pgvector, vector search Supabase, Firebase, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Vercel Real impact: - Migrated a 1M+ visitors/month site from WordPress to Next.js SSR, roughly 20x faster - Took an inherited AI marketplace from ~50% complete to live on both app stores - Shipped a HIPAA-compliant telehealth product that has been live over 2 years - Cut crash rates and stabilized releases in legacy codebases without stalling the roadmap How I work: I care about your product outcome, not closing tickets. I flag risk early, I write TypeScript you can still read in a year, and if it is on my plate it ships. I work from Kathmandu with daily overlap with US and EU hours, and I send Loom walkthroughs as work progresses, so you always know where things stand. Need AI integration in an existing product, an AI agent, or a new AI product shipped end to end, on mobile or web? Send me a message. A real person reads it and replies within a few hours.
