AI engineering

AI features that ship and hold up in production.

Most AI demos never survive contact with real users. I build in-product AI (assistants, retrieval, agents) that's safe, permission-aware, and production-hardened. 58 AI tools shipped in one platform alone.

Who this is for

Product teams who want AI in their product but don't have an AI-native engineer to build it right. You've seen the demos; you need the version that respects permissions, controls cost, and doesn't leak data.

What I can build for you

In-product AI assistant

A copilot that safely takes real actions, not just chat. Tool-calling, role-scoped access, confirmation on destructive steps, full audit logging.

RAG & knowledge retrieval

Turn your docs and data into fast, accurate answers that are grounded and measurable, not hallucinated.

Agentic workflows

Multi-step agents that automate real work end to end, with guardrails and observability built in.

AI feature audit & strategy

Have an AI idea or a stalled prototype? I'll pressure-test feasibility, cost, and the path to production.

How I work

Team-level output, one engineer.

01 · Spec-driven

Idea to PRD, architecture, and sharded stories before code. The planning a PM, architect, and lead used to do, run as one tight loop.

02 · Agentic build

I orchestrate fleets of AI agents via Claude Code: brainstorming, TDD, parallel subagents. I architect; agents execute under direction.

03 · Review & verify

Adversarial code review, verification-before-completion, and real tests keep quality high. Speed never means sloppy.

What clients say

39+ projects delivered · Consistently 5-star client reviews · Identity-verified

He consistently pushed himself to grow, staying ahead of the company's evolving needs rather than simply keeping pace. He approaches every challenge, no matter the scale, with confidence and creativity, and his ability to think beyond conventional solutions truly distinguishes him.
Shahraiz Tabassam · Head of Product, Edge
Nawaz does great work. He can problem-solve and figure out solutions to complex workflows even when he hasn't been exposed to the software before. He learns on the fly and presents multiple paths for success.
Sr. Product Owner & Business Analyst · Client
He understood the problem quickly, communicated clearly throughout, and delivered the fix well ahead of deadline. His professionalism, speed, and backend development skills are clearly top-tier.
