AI integration developer for web apps

I add AI features to web products using the Vercel AI SDK with OpenAI, Claude and Gemini models.

Talk about your project

What I can add to your product

The useful AI features are usually small and specific.

  • Chat and search over your own content
  • Summaries and extraction from documents
  • Drafting tools inside an existing workflow
  • Streaming interfaces that respond as the model writes

Where the work really is

Calling a model takes minutes. The work is in the interface around it: showing results clearly, handling failures and slow responses, keeping costs in check, and knowing when something breaks.

On Consensus, an AI search engine for research, that meant a fast interface for complex results, with Sentry and Datadog watching it in production.

Questions

Can you work in my time zone?

Yes. I work remotely from Islamabad with clients in the USA, UK and Europe, and I'm flexible across PST, EST and GMT.

Which AI models do you work with?

OpenAI, Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini, mostly through the Vercel AI SDK so a model can be swapped without rewriting the app.
