The senior engineer your AI product is missing.

• Funded AI startup

  You need a founding engineer, not a three-month hiring search.

  For startups →

• Founder with an idea

  You need the AI product built and live, in plain language.

  For founders →

• SaaS team with a live product

  You need AI added, or the product made easier to change, without breaking it.

  For SaaS teams →

• Answers your customers can't trust
• An AI bill that triples in month two
• A product that breaks when the AI provider is down
• No way to tell if the AI is getting it right
• A prototype nobody can launch

That gap is what I get hired for.

• “Ali built a custom full-featured admin dashboard for our app, and the experience working with him was excellent from start to finish. He was highly responsive, proactive in proposing solutions, and consistently gave clear scope estimates upfront so I always knew what to expect. He communicated proactively about status, details, and different options, offered thoughtful suggestions whenever issues came up, and collaborated smoothly with the main app developer. The admin panel shipped clean with great functionality: multilingual support, role-based permissions, and clean handling of media uploads across audio, video, and images. Any issues were fixed quickly within a day. It was a great experience working with Ali and I'm looking forward to our next project together. Thank you Ali. Highly recommend!”

• “Ali is easy to work with very knowledgable and is able to provide clear feedback. He also is able to suggest better alternatives which I appreciated very much. Sometimes we can overlook things but when working with Ali it feels like a real team environment. I appreciate all the work he has done and will work with him again!”

• “I feel extremely comfortable working with Ali, we were talking about problems or improvements to the website and how to improve it, Ali was able to analyze and propose concrete actions to improve performance. Reliable and professional. thanks”

• “Ali, is a great asset to our company projects. He delivers on time and has a deep understanding of the work and is able to give input which enhances the project. We enjoy having him on our team and hope to work with him again.”

How do engagements usually work?

My preference is fixed scope: a call first, then a written scope before anything gets built, so we are both looking at the same description of the work. I also like to get a deployed staging URL up early and to send a written update each week, so you are watching the thing get made rather than waiting for a reveal. If the work is genuinely open-ended, a monthly arrangement may suit it better. Which shape fits is worth deciding on the first call.

What do you charge?

It depends on scope. As a guide, an AI product build typically runs $15k–$40k, and adding one AI feature to an existing product $4k–$10k. The price is in writing before work starts and holds unless the scope changes.

Who owns the code and the intellectual property?

You do. The code, the schema, the design files and the deployment setup belong to you, and the agreement we sign says so. If your company has its own contract or IP assignment, I'll work to yours.

What happens after launch?

How I like to finish a project: a documented repository, a walkthrough recording, and your own team on the accounts and infrastructure, so you are not dependent on me afterwards. What is actually delivered is whatever the scope we agree lists, so say if any of that matters to you and we will write it in. Staying on for support or further work is a separate arrangement rather than something bundled in.
