Forward Deployed Engineer  |  AI Architect  |  Full-Stack & Applied AI  |  Islamabad, Pakistan

Portfolio  •  n8nHub  •  LinkedIn  •  Email


Overview

I get the job done. Forward Deployed Engineer who takes ambiguous business problems — the ones with no clean spec — through discovery, architecture, implementation, and production ownership. Five years turning client requirements into systems that stay up: full-stack platforms, AI agent architectures, RAG pipelines, and automation infrastructure running in production today, not in a demo.

  • Forward Deployment: Client-facing technical discovery, solution architecture, and hands-on delivery — I own the problem from ambiguous ask to shipped system.
  • Applied AI & Agent Systems: LLM applications, RAG, agent orchestration, MCP, workflow automation — built for reliability, not novelty.
  • Full-Stack & Infrastructure: React, Next.js, NestJS, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, CI/CD — architecture through production.

The journey: started 2019 doing freelance dev on Upwork/Fiverr, built toward classical ML and data science (anomaly detection, NLP, computer vision) through 2024, then pivoted into applied AI as LLMs and agent frameworks matured — RAG systems, MCP tool-use, multi-agent orchestration, and automation platforms now running in production for enterprise clients. Same throughline the whole time: take the ambiguous ask, ship the working system.
