I am working as full-time ML engineer at META. In past I have worked in Google, Amazon, and LinkedIn, where I shipped over 100 Machine Learning projects and Generative AI models into production. Today, more than 210,000 YouTube subscribers and 100s of developers on GitHub follow my work in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Agentic AI, Deep Learning, RAG, and Gen AI. ✅ My No-Risk Guarantee (100% Money-Back): I stand behind my work with a 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If my deliverables don't meet your expectations, you won't pay a single penny. NO TERMS AND CONDITIONS. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. My Credentials & Authority: ⭐ Expert Vetted Freelancer (Ranked in the top 1% globally) 🏆 💼 Current Role: Full-time Engineer at Meta 🎯 🏛️ Past Experience: Full-time Engineer at Google, Amazon, and LinkedIn 🚀 🎓 100+ certifications in AI and Machine Learning from top institutions ✅ 🥇 Ranked Top 10 Elite AI Freelancer on multiple platforms 📈 🎥 Creator of a leading YouTube channel with 200,000+ subscribers ✨ 💻 Leads a developer community of 100s on GitHub 💻 🚀 The Value I Deliver: I specialize in helping Small to Medium Businesses and Early-Stage Startups implement the same scalable Machine Learning and Generative AI systems that top tech companies use to create big positive impact in the world. I turn complex ideas into profitable, production-ready systems, backed by a proven track record that has contributed to $10M+ in client revenue and the successful deployment of over 150 unique AI models. 💡 Why Choose Experience Over Potential?: You are hiring me for my experience, not potential. The reality is choosing the wrong freelancer can set you back months, drain your budget, and cost you your competitive edge. I help you avoid these pitfalls. As seen with global giants like NVIDIA vs. Intel, a single wrong step in AI adoption can decide the winners and losers. I offer you high-stakes reliability. 👀 Want proof? Scroll through my profile to see what my clients have to say in their testimonials; The results speak for themselves. 🙏 Positive Impact on Society: On my Youtube channel, I occasionally showcase how a portion of my Upwork earnings contributes to positive social impact, all made possible by amazing clients like you. I am also the creator of the Generative AI-101 series. 🤝 Ready to Integrate AI into Your Business? Text me here on Upwork to discuss your project roadmap. I will simplify the complex AI process and ensure your project is built on the same robust frameworks used by Big Tech companies. P.S.: Because of my current full-time role at Meta, I have very limited bandwidth and am only able to reply to a few select clients. If you experience a delay in my response, I appreciate your patience.

🥇 Expert-Vetted (Top 1% on Upwork) | 14+ years shipping production web & mobile products - with AI built in where it adds value, not bolted on for show. I'm a full-stack & mobile developer and fractional CTO. I take ideas from concept to shipped, scaled products: the web app, the mobile app, the infrastructure, and the AI features that make them smart. My pedigree is enterprise - I started my career at SAP in Silicon Valley, the world's #1 enterprise software company, leading ML enablement and development across EMEA - but my home is hands-on building for startups and SMBs who need something real, fast. ⭐ On Upwork: 100% Job Success, 5-star rating, and long-term relationships spanning global corporations to solo founders. 🚀 A few recent builds: 🎓 IT Career Switch ➝ Custom LMS + 500 hours of AI-assisted course content in 8 weeks. Now their long-term innovation partner. 🍽️ The Munch Map ➝ Designed, built & scaled an AI-powered food-review SaaS app - 1m+ views in week one, hundreds of thousands of events weekly. 🎬 FilmWaffle ➝ Rebuilt & scaled an AI-powered film-discovery platform to 5m views/month, migrated with zero downtime. 📍 B2B venue finding platform ➝ Production venue-discovery platform (Django, React, Celery, PostgreSQL) with AI-powered semantic search. 🏢 Kandor ➝ Founding/fractional CTO on a full-stack web and mobile product, from architecture and AI through CI/CD to production. 🧪 Biosense ➝ AI-powered full-stack web app cutting manual root-cause analysis for biotech teams by up to 90%. 🗣️ Audico ➝ Architected & scaled a 40+ language generative-AI voice platform from concept to European commercialisation, as CTO. 📈 Prezien · 📚 Qirnas · ⚡ and more across SaaS, healthcare, edtech and travel. 🛠️ What I actually do: Full product builds and feature work - React, React Native, Expo, Flutter, Django / Node / Rust / FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean etc...) & Kubernetes - with AI woven in where it adds value: semantic search, recommendation systems, knowledge graphs, smart automation, LLM-powered workflows, voice & generative features and more... Whether you're rapidly building an MVP, adding an AI feature to an existing app, or scaling to production, I bring a proven 14-year framework to get it shipped. 🚫 What I'm not the fit for: standalone model training, data labelling, analytics dashboards, or prompt-only engagements. I build intelligent products - not AI in isolation. ❓ WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT? 💡 Creativity ➝ Often overlooked in tech. I have a keen eye for design and love shaping tangible products and services. What we build will be bespoke to your exact needs. 🗣️ Communication ➝ Clients' #1 piece of feedback - and why they keep coming back. Most projects stall on misalignment, not code; a great developer who leaves you in the dark is still a liability. With 14+ years translating complex work for stakeholders at every level (a "Gifted Public Speaker" at SAP, Head of ML Enablement across EMEA, 200+ consultants trained), you'll always know where things stand and why. 🤝 Trust ➝ I run my own businesses, so I know how hard trust is to earn. I'm friendly, open and straight with you from day one, and I'm here for long-term relationships. I'd love to hear what you're working on - reach out and let's build something. You can count on an honest, timely, advisory reply every time 👍🏽
