Work with me
I'm a freelance AI engineer. I build the AI in your product end to end, and you work with me directly, from the first call to handover.

What I build
-
AI assistants & chat-with-your-data
Let your users or your team ask questions in plain language over your documents and databases, and get answers they can check.
-
Full product build
AI is only useful inside a real product. I build the app, API, database, auth and deployment around it, so you get one working product.
-
AI agents
AI that doesn't stop at answering: it reads, decides and uses your tools and APIs, with guardrails around every step.
-
Document AI
Extract, classify, anonymize and translate claims, contracts and forms automatically, including scanned documents.
-
Custom & fine-tuned models
When off-the-shelf models aren't accurate enough for your domain, I train and evaluate one that is.
-
AI consulting & advisory
Already have something in progress? I review architecture, set up evaluation, and give your team a clear plan.
Ways to work together
-
MVP build ยท start here
From an idea to a launched product with real users. Typically 6 to 10 weeks.
-
AI feature build
One clearly defined AI feature, from idea to production, with the scope agreed before any code is written. Typically 4 to 8 weeks.
-
Prototype rescue
Your prototype stalled. I measure where it fails, fix what matters most and leave you with a clear plan for the rest. Typically 1 to 2 weeks.
-
Embedded AI lead
I join your team part-time to build and lead your AI work: architecture, evaluation, standards, delivery. Ongoing, 2 to 3 days a week.
How I work
- Scoping
- What it should do, what data it needs, and how you'll know it works, agreed before anything is built.
- Architecture
- Designed for accuracy, cost and speed at real scale, not just for ten testers.
- Build
- The AI and everything around it, inside your product, with something working to try every week.
- Evaluate
- Tested on real questions and real data, so you know how often it's right before anyone relies on it.
- Handover
- Deployed, documented and yours to keep, with the evaluation in place for every future change.
What you can count on
- Scope agreed in writing before I write a line of code
- Something working to try every week, not a status report
- You own 100% of the code
- Documented so your developers can maintain it
- NDA signed on request
FAQ
- Where are you based? Do you work with clients abroad?
- I'm based between Dubai, Paris and Beirut, and I work remotely with clients anywhere in the world. I schedule calls in your time zone and keep the work moving asynchronously in between.
- Do you sign NDAs?
- Yes, before you share anything sensitive.
- Who owns the code?
- You do, 100%, from day one.
- Can you work with our developers?
- Yes. Most of my work happens inside existing teams, and I document everything so your developers can take it over.
- What do you need from us to start?
- A 30-minute call, a description of what you want the AI to do, and some example data if you have it.
- I'm not technical. Can you handle everything?
- Yes. I build the AI, the app around it, the backend and the deployment, and I explain every decision in plain terms.
- Can you start from just an idea?
- Yes. Scoping is the first step: what it does, what data it needs, and how you'll know it works.
- What happens after launch?
- You get the code, documentation and evaluation setup. I hand over to your team or stay on part-time.
- What is ProductArc?
- ProductArc is my AI product company. It builds and runs its own products, like Parlo and SYD. Client work happens with me directly, here.
