AI Agent Developer | AI SaaS & RAG Apps | Python, LangChain, Next.js

Need an AI system that actually works beyond the demo? I create production AI agents, RAG systems, AI automation and full-stack SaaS products for connecting LLMs to your data, APIs, tools and processes. I also do work with AI-assisted product development platforms like Lovable by transforming quickly built prototypes and MVPs into fully engineered production products, rather than leaving them as mere prototypes. With 16+ years of experience as a software engineer and product builder, I help entrepreneurs, startups and companies to transform their AI concepts into working products from MVPs and AI features to full-scale production platforms. Having myself been the founder of two companies, Shine Dezign and FuelLab Fit, I have the background of engineering as well as product building. This means not only making sure that the AI model gives you a response but building a whole platform around it.

SELECTED AI PROJECTS • Multichannel AI Support Chatbot Developed an AI-based customer service solution that is able to communicate with customers on different channels and assist them. • AI Knowledge Assistant with RAG Created a system that would enable companies to search for and understand internal documents, PDF files, websites, and knowledge bases using retrieval-augmented generation. • AI Agent for Business Process Automation Created an AI agent for automating business processes by connecting knowledge of the business, LLMs, and APIs. WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME ✓ 16+ years of software engineering experience ✓ Founder-level product thinking ✓ AI architecture + hands-on development ✓ Full-stack engineering capability ✓ End-to-end ownership from idea to production ✓ Scalable and cost-conscious architecture ✓ Experience across SaaS, healthcare, wellness, fintech, e-commerce, enterprise software, & automation ✓ Clear communication and dependable delivery All you have to do is create AI that solves a business problem and keeps functioning despite the growth of the product, its users, data, and workflows. From AI agents to RAG applications, from AI automation workflows to AI SaaS products, from chatbots to voice agents, from AI/ML solutions to full-stack AI platforms, I will assist you in moving through all the stages until reaching production.
