AI Product Engineer & Architect
I take AI from prototype to production.
I design and build production-grade AI systems that survive the security review and run in the real world: agents, customer-service automation, and the workflows behind them. I also publish what the tools really cost.
Independent. Written from Dubai 馃嚘馃嚜
Field notes from building AI systems. Build logs, working blueprints, and what shipped, weekly.
This isn't a hot-take blog.
It's the working log of one operator building AI products in the open, with the code shared and the systems live.
Build logs. Working systems. Field notes. The honest record of what shipped, what failed, and what's still on the desk this week.
I publish what works because the system outlasts the take.
For people who'd rather see the system than the slide.
Tools I use What I run, recommend, and review honestly, including the ones with no affiliate program.
