AI Engineer  /  Lahore / Remote

    I build AI systems that hold up in production.

    Most AI work dies between the demo and the deploy. I do the part after the demo: the evaluation, the cost ceiling, the failure modes, the thing that still works on the six hundred millionth record.

    What I build

    • Agentic workflows

      50%less manual effort

      For PwC: an agent proposes customs tariff codes with its reasoning, so specialists review instead of starting from scratch.

      Automated Tariff Classification 
    • RAG on your data

      <3.5sto search 1.35M document chunks

      Staff ask in plain English and get answers grounded in the company's own documents and purchase records, not guesses.

      Procurement Intelligence Agent 
    • Voice agents

      <1suntil it starts answering

      You speak, it answers out loud: OpenAI's realtime voice model typically replies in under a second. One agent runs live sales calls and books the follow-up itself.

      Real-Time Voice Companion 
    • Documents & vision

      $1–6model cost per plan set

      Reads construction drawings and lists every fence run, gate and height, with the sheet each came from.

      Reading Construction Drawings 
    • Data at scale

      4×cheaper per full run

      Sorted 600 million job ads into standard occupations for Pearson; the cost of a full run fell from $48K to $12K.

    About

    Lahore, Pakistan, working remote

    I work with teams who have an AI idea that needs to survive contact with real data, real budgets and real users.

    That usually means one of three things: a retrieval or agent system that has to be accurate enough to trust, a pipeline that has to run at a scale where cost decisions matter, or a prototype that works on a laptop and needs to work in production.

    I have done this for Pearson and PwC through TenX, and for a handful of startups building their first AI features. I write the evaluation harness before I write the pitch.
