Proven at scale
DOP (300M+ users, $185M private sale), CV Maker (200K to 1M+ users, about 60% faster APIs), TheCryptoBasic (2M+ users) and Tomi (1M+ users).
One person, end to end
The AI layer, the backend, the app and the release. You talk to the person who writes the code.
Your time zone
Israel is 2 to 3 hours behind Pakistan, so our working days almost fully overlap. For US teams I keep hours that overlap your morning.
QA built in
I started as an SQA engineer, so every release is tested, monitored and handed over with documentation.
How a project works
- Scope call. We talk through the goal, the current state of the product and what success looks like.
- Written plan. You get fixed milestones, delivery dates and a clear price before any work starts.
- Build in small pieces. I ship in small steps with regular progress updates, so you always see what is built.
- Tested delivery. Delivery includes tests, documentation, handover and free support afterwards if something breaks.
Ways to work together

Best for new products and features: a fixed scope and price per milestone.
Hourly
Best for bug fixes, performance audits and small changes.
Remote role
Full-time or part-time as an AI Engineer, LLM Engineer or Senior Backend Engineer, remote or hybrid.
