Hi, I'm UsmanAI Engineer & Full-Stack Developer
I turn vision into reality with clean, scalable, intelligent systems.
I'm an AI Engineer and Full-Stack Developer building AI agents, RAG pipelines and Kubernetes platforms — on top of nearly a decade shipping software people actually pay for. Two LLM applications running 24/7 on a cluster I administer myself. Fourteen business management systems in daily use across retail, healthcare, education and IT. Six Android apps built and shipped to Google Play. And seven years at a multinational delivering 4G and 5G rollouts across eight countries — where I learned the part most engineers skip: finishing.

Services
What I can build for you
Four things I do, described as what you get rather than what I use. The stack sits underneath each one.
AI assistants grounded in your own data
A question box over your documents, databases and FAQs that answers from your actual content — and says "I don't know" instead of inventing an answer.
- RAG pipeline with vector search over your document corpus
- Text-to-SQL over your live database, behind a read-only guard
- Source citations and an explicit no-hallucination fallback
- Multilingual responses and conversation follow-ups
LLM agents that actually do the work
Not a chatbot that talks about your systems — an agent that operates them, with confirmation gates guarding anything destructive.
- Agent orchestration on the OpenAI Agents SDK
- Custom tool development and MCP servers
- Provider-swappable model layer via LiteLLM — no vendor lock-in
- Human-in-the-loop approval on every irreversible action
Shipped to production, not left in a notebook
The part most AI projects never reach. Containerised, deployed to Kubernetes, wired to CI/CD, and running 24/7 — the same way both of my own products run.
- Docker images and Helm charts
- Kubernetes deployment (K3s or managed)
- GitHub Actions CI/CD — push to deploy
- TLS, custom domains, monitoring and auto-renewing certificates
Delivery you can plan around
Seven years running telecom rollouts across eight countries taught me the thing most engineers never learn: how to hold a date. Clear scope, honest estimates, and status you don't have to chase.
- Scoped proposal with milestones before any code is written
- Predictable written progress updates
- Documentation and handover, so you are never dependent on me
Featured Projects
Built, deployed, and running right now
Not prototypes. Two run live on infrastructure I administer myself; the others were delivered to clients and run on theirs.
Agentic AI · Human-in-the-loop
Email Triage Agent
An agent that runs your inbox — and knows when to ask.
It decides for itself which emails matter, what to look up and in what order — past threads, the sender, your calendar — then drafts the reply. When you answer on Slack in your own words, in any language, it reads the intent and chooses: send it, rewrite it, or ask you to clarify.

Business System
Quotation, Invoicing & VAT System
A contractor's entire back office, in one app.
Quotes, LPOs, delivery notes, VAT-ready tax invoices and payroll — the system a Dubai fibre company ran on every single day.

- .NET Framework
- WinForms
- MS Access
