AI Automation & CRM Systems Developer | Voice AI, LLM Apps, AI Agents

I Focus Heavily on Delivery Quality and Client Experience. That mindset comes from my background. I've spent years in Fortune 100 enterprise technology environments where execution, reliability, and quality were non-negotiable. My experience includes SuperAnnotate (Microsoft, OpenAI), Afiniti AI (AT&T, Verizon), SimpleTalk AI, and Educative, building machine learning pipelines that processed millions of records a day at sub-100ms latency. I've also worked with 75+ businesses across 20+ industries, primarily in the US, from local businesses and SMBs to national companies, SaaS products, and 7-8 figure agencies. A previous client said: "Ali is a beast. He pumped this build out so fast and got me to market immediately. He fixes, perfects, and iterates fast. I felt like family." Another client said: "Your speed, clarity, and quality of work have been outstanding. You crushed both milestones and delivered in hours what others take days to figure out." I don't look at a project as a list of development tasks. I understand the business problem, what needs to be built, how everything connects, and what it takes to keep the system reliable after launch. Here is where that experience sits. AI automation and business systems. I build end-to-end automation systems that connect AI, CRMs, communication platforms, internal tools, and business workflows. I've built 100+ production workflows using n8n, Make, Zapier, and GoHighLevel, along with 30+ CRM integrations across GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Close, Monday, ClickUp, and Airtable. This includes lead capture, qualification, follow-ups, appointment scheduling, sales automation, onboarding, notifications, data synchronization, and multi-step business processes. CRM systems and integrations. I build and customize CRM systems around the way a business actually operates. My experience includes HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Close, Monday, ClickUp, and Airtable, along with integrations for practice management, property management, roofing, legal, ERP, and other industry-specific systems. I also build GoHighLevel white-label SaaS setups, snapshots, sub-accounts, A2P 10DLC SMS, funnels, lead qualification bots, and custom CRM functionality. Voice AI and real-time communication. I build production AI phone agents and complete voice AI platforms for sales, support, reception, qualification, scheduling, and other business processes. Recent work includes an AI receptionist that books, reschedules, and cancels appointments directly in a clinic's practice management system on a HIPAA-compliant backend, and a multi-tenant voice AI SaaS with an agent builder, sub-client management, and post-call analytics that has handled 10,000+ conversations. My experience includes Retell AI, VAPI, Pipecat, LiveKit, Twilio, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Whisper, WebRTC, SIP, IVR/DTMF, voicemail detection, live transfer, and real-time transcription. AI agents and LLM applications. I build AI systems that understand business context, work with private data, use external tools, and take action rather than simply generate text. This includes AI agents, multi-agent systems, RAG applications, domain-specific GPTs, natural language search, memory-augmented assistants, AI-powered workflows, and custom AI tools. I work with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate, Chroma, and FAISS. I also build MCP servers, tools, and clients, along with prompt engineering and AI evaluation systems. SaaS platforms and full-stack products. When an automation, CRM, or AI requirement needs a complete application behind it, I can build the full system. My experience includes multi-tenant architecture, role-based access, subscriptions and Stripe billing, admin panels, analytics dashboards, client portals, APIs, and custom business logic. Recent builds include a manufacturer product configurator and dealer ordering platform, a real estate CRM and marketplace, and a custom scheduling and route optimization system for a field operations business. Document intelligence. I rebuilt the extraction pipeline behind a legal AI product used by attorneys on commercial leases, purchase agreements, and loan documents, combining OCR, parallel LLM extraction, validation, and cited Q&A. It took 45-page documents from unreliable ten-minute runs to under three minutes. Engineering foundations. Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask), Node.js, TypeScript, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Supabase, REST and GraphQL APIs, WebSockets, microservices, OAuth 2.0, JWT, AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD. I've delivered systems under HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR requirements, including encrypted storage and audit logging. I have a Computer Science background with a specialization in AI, my biggest strength is understanding how the entire system fits together.
