Muhammad Faizan K.

Principal Full Stack AI Engineer | AI Agents | OpenClaw | NextJS

Principal Full Stack AI Engineer with 10+ years shipping production AI Agents and LLM systems on OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Llama. OpenClaw specialist building custom skills, plugins, multi-channel gateway deployments. I've helped startups raise $20M+ turning prototypes into platforms that scale to millions. If you're a founder, CTO, or product lead tackling a serious build, this is for you. What I Really Do (and Why Teams Bring Me On) Most folks reach out after their MVP buckles under real traffic, their last dev left behind spaghetti code, AI features flop in production, or the backend just can't keep up with growth. I've been there, fixed it all. What I focus on: - AI-driven SaaS (Machine Learning ML, LLMs, chatbots, voice AI, smart automations, OpenAI , Anthropic, Meta Llama) - Scalable web apps (Next.js, React, Node, Python, Ruby, GO) - Cloud and infra (AWS, Vercel, serverless, queues, robust APIs) - Highly secure enterprise architecture (microservices, cloud, CI/CD, AWS,Azure, GCP) - Full-stack implementation from frontend to cloud deployment I don't just crank out code. I build systems that scale with your business, because I've seen what happens when they don't. My clients frequently mention my expertise in AI systems, scalability, and AWS cloud services in their feedback.: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - 5 Star Rating Faizan Ali - Founder & CEO Project: Lethub - Real Estate AI Sales Agent & CRM "Faizan enabled us to raise the $1M Seed Funding round which has taken Lethub to new heights.

His communication was top-notch, always prompt and fast. He met most deadlines and his skills were strong. At one point, I needed assistance with a task outside his expertise, and Faizan was very forthcoming about it. He helped me find additional resources to support the work efficiently. I learned many things from Faizan during this project. Overall, I think he is good, and I appreciate his professionalism. I look forward to collaborating with Faizan again in the future."
