Drowning in legacy .NET modernization, broken LLM pipelines, RAG accuracy issues, or an AI SaaS architecture that can't scale? I build and ship production-ready AI systems, full-stack platforms, and LLM integrations that actually work in the real world.
Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 4,830+ hrs, $200K+ earned, 30 five-star reviews, 3x to 10x performance gains delivered.
Most clients come to me tired of one of these:
• An AI chatbot that makes things up because it isn't grounded in their real data
• Hours lost every week to manual work and reporting a machine should handle
• A legacy .NET app that's expensive to run and too risky to touch
• A great Figma design still sitting unbuilt, or coded badly by someone else
• A database and app that crawl as data and traffic grow
• AI that looked great in a demo but solves nothing in production
I've fixed every one of these, more than once. Here's how I'd help you.
1) AI chatbots, agents & RAG
Chatbots grounded on your own data using RAG, LangChain, and vector databases (Pinecone, pgvector), so they answer from your content, not their imagination. GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, with tool use and memory. For your website, Shopify, or WordPress. An AI LMS I built answers in under 200ms.
2) AI automation & Power BI dashboards
Workflows that handle the busywork: lead handling, outreach, data, and reporting, built in n8n, Zapier, or Power Automate, plus live Power BI dashboards for your KPIs. A B2B platform I built sends 500+ outreach sequences a day using GPT-4, Playwright, and Celery.
3) Legacy .NET modernization & Azure migration
.NET Framework to .NET Core, onto Azure, with documented cost and performance gains. 10+ legacy apps migrated, no scary big bang rewrite. Backends in ASP.NET Core and FastAPI, 100+ APIs, CQRS, DDD, event driven microservices, clean architecture.
4) Figma to React & Next.js
Pixel perfect, fully responsive frontends in React 18 and Next.js, hand coded with TypeScript and Tailwind, cross browser tested. Also Angular and Blazor, with real time features via SignalR and WebRTC.
5) Database & query optimization
Slow queries fixed with execution plan analysis and proven before/after benchmarks across MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. Indexing, query rewrites, schema review, and Redis caching where it helps.
6) Slow app made fast
I profile the real bottleneck, queries, caching, code, or architecture, then fix it for measurable 3x to 10x gains across .NET, React, and Node.js.
Integrations are a core strength, 50+ delivered: SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Odoo, QuickBooks, SPS Commerce, EDI (X12, EDIFACT), UPS, FedEx, USPS, Interactive Brokers, Fidelity, Schwab, Shopify, Stripe. Proof at scale: a multi tenant SaaS analytics platform processing millions of data points daily on Azure, and a logistics system handling 10,000+ shipments a day. Cloud and DevOps: Azure App Services, Service Bus, Functions, Kubernetes, CI/CD via Azure DevOps.
Why clients stay and come back:
• Plain language updates, so you always know status, risk, and what is next
• I solve the business problem, not just the ticket
• Production ready from day one: documented APIs, parameterised queries, typed frontends, CI/CD, no rework
• UK based, responsive across US and European business hours
Need an AI chatbot, automation, a .NET rebuild, a Figma to React build, database tuning, or a slow app made fast? Send me the brief and I will tell you exactly how I would tackle it. Available for long term contracts and focused sprints.
Skills: .NET Core, C#, ASP.NET Core, Python, FastAPI, React, Next.js, Angular, Blazor, TypeScript, AI chatbot, AI agent, RAG, LLM integration, AI integration, OpenAI GPT-4, Claude, LangChain, Pinecone, AI automation, n8n, Power BI, Azure migration, microservices, API development, ERP integration, EDI, database optimization, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, performance optimization, Redis.

I have more than two decades of experience in software development. Everything from 8-bit game machines, many generations of game console to the WebGL and Mobile. I've worked for startups and multi-national corporations, in-house, consultant and freelance.
I focus on browser and mobile development now, where my long background and wide experience is effective for dealing with the relatively low performance environment. Front end is usually where I'm at but I'm equally happy to work with the back end to pursue a truly high performance result.
Please explore the portfolio and watch the attached video to get an idea of what I can do.

Most AI projects don't fail because of bad models. They fail because the infrastructure around the model wasn't built for production. Fragile prototypes, unpredictable latency, cloud bills that explode at scale, no fallback when things break. That's the gap I close.
I'm an AI systems engineer with 25 years of building things that have to work — embedded firmware, distributed systems, and now production AI infrastructure on AWS. I recently architected a production AI receptionist for clinics — handling appointment booking in Hindi and English over a messaging channel API, processing voice notes through a custom STT → intent classification → calendar action pipeline on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB, with sub-2s response times and no persistent server. That kind of end-to-end production constraint is what I work in.
What I build:
- LLM integration for environments with compliance, multilingual, or integration constraints
- AWS serverless architecture for AI workloads — Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, SQS
- Messaging channel API pipelines for conversational AI on mobile platforms
- Voice AI pipelines — custom STT/TTS architecture and platform integrations
- IoT + AI systems for edge intelligence and on-device inference
Where I add the most value:
You have a working prototype and you're not sure it'll survive real traffic, real users, or a compliance review. Or you're hitting a wall with latency issues, language gaps, telephony quirks — and need someone who has been inside those problems. I come in, map what's actually broken, and fix it or rebuild it properly.
How to start:
Before committing to a full build, most engagements begin with an Architecture Audit. I review your existing system or concept, identify the failure points, and produce a concrete implementation roadmap. It's a low-risk way to find out exactly what you're dealing with before spending on a full build.
If your AI system needs to work — not just demo — let's talk.
