Open to both short/long-term contract or a full-time position if the chemistry is there.

I fluctuate between:

- Deep learning / Neural networks - from architecture to inference. You might have used my ♥ Lovely Tensors library if you work with PyTorch (or JAX). Some CUDA, pytorch profiler, etc.

- Full-stack AI-adjacent applications - the usual LLM API tool-calling "agentinc" AI + full-stack web, ideally with SvelteKit (typescript, tailwind, shadcn, drizzle, etc).

I'm a product-minded fullstack software engineer with a strong eye for UX and design. I work confidently across the stack and thrive in fast-paced startup environments where quick, innovative problem-solving is key. I use AI heavily in my development workflow to ship faster, and I design and build AI-powered features as core parts of the products I work on.

A few side projects I have

Confabulistas - https://www.confabulistas.com.br/catalog

A catalog of Brazilian fiction writers with natural-language semantic search. Author biographies are chunked and embedded via OpenAI embeddings, stored in Postgres with pgvector, and queried by cosine similarity against the embedded user query, then LLM rerank. The site is in Portuguese, but the search accepts English queries, so it can be tested directly.

Parliant - https://www.parliant.ai

an AI-conducted conversational survey platform. I envisioned, designed, and built it end-to-end, leveraging AI-assisted coding and integrating advanced AI features.

Touchline Shouting - https://www.touchlineshouting.com

A web game built to explore AI as a moderation agent on systems with public conversation. You play as a coach typing instructions for your player. Repo can be made public for potential employers.

Location: Pakistan

Remote: Yes (global, US timezones preferred)

Hi, I am Saad! Senior product engineer, 5+ years at early-stage product startups (Series A B2B marketplace and fintech, ~80 engineers). Joined as a junior and earned 4 promotions in 2.5 years. Cut AWS costs 84% ($6.4K to $1K/mo). Shipped a production agentic AI procurement system that autonomously discovers suppliers and negotiates at zero headcount. Scaled REST APIs from 3.5K to 21K concurrent users with 89% latency improvement. Architected a cross-border multi-currency system with FX-rate-aware transactions. Led a 4-engineer team delivering 6 revenue-critical features. Built a shared Node.js SDK adopted across 7+ services cutting setup time by 70%. Also built fintech integrations.

Looking for a founding/senior engineer role where ownership, velocity, and keeping burn low actually matter.

Linkedin/Github is hyperlinked in the resume. Thanks!

Hi, my name is Alec and I build infrastructure and glue systems together. I have completed projects ranging from writing backend application code to building out idempotent infrastructure. I'm looking to branch out into more formal SRE roles as well. If you're worried about the state of your infrastructure, or your developers spend too much time mucking with infrastructure versus feature work, OR if you have no idea what I'm even talking about, then I am certainly going to be a help on your team.
