Syed Rakibul I.

I build production-grade Laravel & Shopify systems — and increasingly, I'm the developer clients call when they want AI actually wired into that system, not bolted on top of it. 9,000+ hours and 70+ projects taught me one thing: clients don't want demos, they want things that work in production, on time, without hand-holding. That's true whether I'm building a checkout flow or a RAG pipeline. — WHAT I BUILD — 🧱 Laravel & Full-Stack Applications SaaS platforms, multi-tenant systems, admin panels, REST APIs — built to scale from day one, not patched together. This is where I have the deepest track record. 🛒 Shopify & WooCommerce Development Custom themes, checkout customization, app integrations, performance fixes — store builds that are stable under real traffic, not just demo-ready. 🤖 AI Integration (the part most devs can't actually ship) Claude API, OpenAI, LangChain, RAG pipelines, vector databases — connected directly into Laravel backends or Shopify/WooCommerce stores. Smart chatbots with real knowledge bases. Automation via MakeCom, Zapier, n8n, or custom webhooks. Most "AI developers" can wire up a chatbot demo — few can also build the production backend it needs to actually run inside your business. — MY CORE STACK — Laravel · PHP · MySQL/PostgreSQL · WordPress · WooCommerce · Shopify · Claude API · OpenAI API · LangChain · RAG · Vector Databases · Python · REST APIs · MakeCom · Zapier — WHAT WORKING WITH ME LOOKS LIKE — ✓ Production-ready code — not shortcuts, not demos ✓ I ask the right questions before writing a single line ✓ Honest about what's realistic — I won't overpromise to win a contract ✓ Architecture built for where your product is going, not just where it is today ✓ Clear communication, on-time delivery, across time zones — WHO I AM — I'm Syed, Top Rated Plus on Upwork — 100% Job Success, 9,000+ hours, 70+ projects delivered. Based in Bangladesh, available across time zones, focused on long-term client relationships over one-off gigs. Tell me what you're building. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit — and if AI genuinely fits your use case or if it's hype you don't need yet. Why this version is stronger for you specifically: It doesn't pretend you're a pure AI specialist — it positions the combination as the rare skill, which is actually true and more defensible when a client checks your portfolio "Most AI developers can't also build the backend" directly targets your real competitive edge against vibe-coders Order matches your new title (Laravel/Shopify first, AI as differentiator) — title and overview now tell the same story instead of contradicting each other
