I build intelligent systems that actually solve real business problems — not just code. I’m an AI Automation Engineer with hands-on experience in building production-ready platforms, AI workflows, and full-stack applications. I’ve worked on real-world automation systems using n8n, integrating APIs, emails, and internal tools to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency. I’ve also developed complete products like a matrimonial platform with admin dashboard and mobile support, showcasing my ability to handle end-to-end development — from frontend to backend to deployment. Here’s what I can help you with: • AI automation workflows (n8n, APIs, integrations) • LLM-powered applications and AI features • Full-stack web and mobile app development • Building scalable systems and admin dashboards I focus on building solutions that are practical, scalable, and deliver real value. If you’re looking for someone who can understand your problem and turn it into a working system — let’s connect.

I am a freelance developer with 30+ years of experience in computer vision, 3D, computer graphics, HPC (multi-thread, GPGPU) and code optimization. - performance optimization: I could help profile your C++/Python code and optimize it to get better performances. Using a better algorithm, better data structures, using all cores (Intel TBB, OpenMP), the GPU (CUDA, Metal, OpenCL, HIP/ROCm) - macOS application: I could help get your code to run on macOS (universal binary Intel/AppleSilicon, application bundle, packaging, signing, notarization) - Deep Learning: design and train DL models using PyTorch or TensorFlow, optimize/deploy for inference using TensorRT on Desktop/Jetson, or, CoreML, NCNN, OpenCV DNN, ... on other devices. - Computer Vision: as an OpenCV contributor I could help design your computer vision system using OpenCV on the CPU and/or the GPU (OpenCL/CUDA).

I ship production software in weeks, not quarters, because I build with AI instead of around it. 10+ years, IIT Ropar CSE. Head of Engineering at an AI startup. Before that: VP Technology at a top India D2C brand, 2M+ app installs, 350+ retail stores. WHAT I ACTUALLY DO I run engineering at an AI startup. Before that I was the first tech hire at a D2C brand that is now one of India's largest, where I built and ran the entire stack: React Native apps at 2M+ installs, an in-house POS live in 350+ retail stores, a custom Next.js website running headless on Shopify, internal tools used daily by 1,000+ employees, and the AWS infrastructure holding it all up at roughly $5K/month with near-zero downtime. Alongside that, I take on a small number of outside projects where speed is the constraint, not headcount. WHY I'M FASTER THAN A CHEAPER DEVELOPER I rebuilt my own engineering workflow around AI agents: spec to PR, automated code review, test generation, migrations. It runs in production on a real codebase with a real team, not on a demo repo. What a 3-person agency quotes at 12 weeks, I scope at 4, and the architectural standard holds because the review layer is automated too. That's the reason to hire me over someone billing a third of my rate. You're not buying my hours. You're buying a delivery pipeline that took years to build. WHERE I'M USEFUL 0-to-1 product builds. You have a validated idea and need a real product, not a Figma file. I've done this from zero three times: an EdTech marketplace to 10K paid users, a services platform as first engineer, an omnichannel retail stack from scratch. Fractional CTO and technical advisory. Architecture reviews, AWS cost audits, build-versus-buy calls, interviewing and hiring engineers, and second opinions on decisions you cannot un-make later. A few hours a month, not a full-time commitment. Useful if you have a team but no one senior enough to argue with. E-commerce and retail systems. Shopify, headless Next.js websites, payment gateways, inventory sync, POS, order tracking. Shipped at scale across web, mobile and 350+ physical stores. AI features inside real products. LLM integrations, RAG over your own data, agentic workflows, support and ops automation. Built to survive production, not a weekend demo. Architecture and infrastructure. Monolith-to-services migration, event-driven systems, AWS cost reduction, CI/CD. I've cut real infra bills, not theoretical ones. STACK Node.js, Express, React, Next.js, React Native, PostgreSQL, Redis/Valkey, AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront), Shopify, REST APIs, OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, vector DBs, CI/CD HOW I WORK Fixed-price by default. You pay for the outcome, not my hours, and you know the number before we start. I'll work hourly only when the scope genuinely can't be defined upfront. I take a limited number of engagements so the ones I take actually get finished. Async-first with one weekly call. You see working software from week one, not a status update. I'll also tell you when your idea needs a smaller build than you asked for. That conversation has saved my clients more than any line of code I've written. START HERE Send me the problem, not the spec. I'll come back with an approach, a realistic timeline and a fixed price. Still earlier than that, and not sure whether the thing is worth building at all? Say that instead. I'll give you a straight answer before either of us talks about money, and I'll tell you if you don't need me.

I help businesses turn ideas and operational challenges into practical digital solutions. My focus includes AI-powered applications, business automation, SaaS platforms, professional websites, web and mobile applications, CRM solutions, and system integrations. My background combines entrepreneurship, business operations, management, and technology. This allows me to look beyond the technical side of a project and understand the business problem behind it whether the goal is generating more leads, automating repetitive processes, improving customer follow up, launching a new digital product, or building a complete online platform. I can help with: • AI-powered solutions and integrations • SaaS and web application projects • Professional business websites and e-commerce • Mobile application projects • CRM and business automation • Workflow and system integrations • Project planning and solution development I work with clients from the initial idea and requirements through planning, implementation, testing, and launch. My goal is simple: understand what your business needs and deliver a practical solution that creates real value. If you have an idea or a business challenge and are not sure about the best technical approach, I can help you define the solution and turn it into a working product.

I've shipped full-stack software across the SaaS, healthcare, and consumer space, including senior IC work at Highspot and leading a 12-person engineering team. These days I'm a startup CTO, so I think about more than just code: I care about shipping the right thing, on time, and in a way that won't break six months later. What I can help with: Full-stack web apps — React, TypeScript, Node.js, modern frontends + the APIs behind them Backend & cloud — scalable services, database design, AWS, integrations Specialized builds — IoT/embedded (ESP32, sensors, cellular), 3D/interactive web (Three.js, WebGL), React Native Technical leadership — architecture reviews, code audits, mentoring, untangling a project that's gone sideways I communicate clearly, hit deadlines, and treat your project like I'd treat my own. Whether you need a feature built, a prototype stood up, or a senior set of eyes on something complex, I'd be glad to help. Let's talk about what you're building.
