AI Engineer | AI Founder | CTO | AI Expert

Once a Structural Engineer, now a 2x AI Founder — I evolved from building physical structures to architecting intelligent systems that scale across industries. Over the last few years, I’ve led 40+ AI Solutions from Ideation to Enterprise Grade Production. 2 of the companies has been acquired by a Unicorn, and many others scaling up more. ✅ I am a fit if: You are the direct decision maker or can approve technical direction You have a project budget of at least $5,000 USD for the first phase You are targeting $10,000+ in measurable efficiency or operational savings within 90 days You are ready to begin within the next 2 weeks ❌ I am not a fit if: Pricing is the primary factor above outcome, speed, and quality. Your business falls under gambling, adult, or similar restricted categories. You are not collaborative or not open to strategic guidance. ⚡ Real Results ✅ KairaIQ Platform – Processed 500+ policy documents & automated 90% of manual data workflows using autonomous AI agents
 ✅ Agentic Microservices System – Reduced latency from 30s → 5s by refactoring into 12 parallel AI services
 ✅ Government AI Platform – Scaled to 4M+ users with 100K+ daily AI-powered requests
✅ Computer Vision Systems – Achieved 96% accuracy in real-time detection across 142K+ images
 ✅ AI Automation Pipelines – Eliminated manual data entry by 90% via OCR, scraping & document intelligence systems
