What I Do

I can help you build AI-first experiences, add AI features to your existing product or build custom AI tools for internal use.
I move fast, make reasonable trade-offs, and focus on the UI/UX in addition to the AI models. My goal is to build a system that delivers business outcomes and is easy to maintain.
I am open to working on a variety of AI projects. In the past, I have worked on building an agent to handle user queries, building UIs for image generation, finetuning and deploying custom image models and improving inference speed of models.

Who I Work Best With

I work best with startups and small teams that want to move fast and see quick results.
I'm hands-on - I write code, fix bugs, and build features myself rather than just advising.
I work independently and keep you updated on progress without needing constant meetings.
I am happy to collaborate with the engineers and designers on your team.

I started out as a data scientist building classification models for radiologists and ranking systems for online marketplaces.
In 2020, I started building products end to end, eventually cofounding prezo.ai where I served as the lead engineer. I worked with a team of talented designers and engineers to build and scale our product to half a million users. I architected and implemented core AI features while collaborating closely with my brilliant cofounder and CEO to shape the product vision.
Through these experiences, I've learned what makes AI projects succeed in the real world - from technical implementation to user adoption.
I'm actively building my own AI products while helping select clients with theirs. Having been on both sides of the table, I understand the pressures and priorities of startup engineering.

First, we'll have a short call to discuss your project. I'll listen to what you need and tell you honestly if and how I can help.
Sometimes I may need to do more research for viability. I'll keep you updated on progress and let you know if I can't help.
If we're a good fit, I'll outline what I'll build, how long it will take, and what it will cost.
I do most work async through Slack or email, with an optional weekly check-in call. This lets me focus on building while keeping you in the loop.

I prefer charging on a project basis rather than hourly. I find this aligns our incentives better. It does however require clear communication and understanding of the project scope.
Projects typically range from $20K to $50K USD and take 4 to 12 weeks to complete. My minimum engagement is $10K.
Payment is structured in three parts: 50% to start, 25% at the halfway milestone, and 25% upon completion
