What does a typical agentic AI consulting engagement look like?

A typical engagement starts with a 2-week discovery sprint where I audit your existing stack, define the agent architecture, and map out a delivery timeline. From there we run a focused pilot (4–6 weeks) before scaling to a full build. Most clients go from zero to a working agentic system in 8–12 weeks.

Do you take fractional CTO or advisory roles?

Yes — fractional and advisory engagements are a core part of how I work. I typically take on 1–2 fractional roles at a time alongside project work. These range from 1 day/week to full delivery leadership depending on the team's needs.

Where are you based and do you work with global clients?

I am based in Islamabad, Pakistan, and work with clients globally — across the US, Europe, MENA, and Southeast Asia. All engagements are remote-first, with optional on-site sprints available for strategic milestones.

Absolutely. I sign NDAs as standard practice before any substantive conversations. Confidentiality is a baseline, not a negotiation.

What is your typical pricing structure?

I price on a project basis or a monthly retainer depending on engagement type. Discovery sprints are typically fixed-price. Ongoing fractional or advisory roles run on monthly retainers. Book a 30-minute strategy call for a tailored proposal.

Can you help with AI compliance and regulated industries?

Yes. I design compliance in from the start: audit trails, access controls and policy guardrails for AI systems, and allowlists and auditable admin actions for smart contracts. See the Echonos and Build My Dapp case studies for how I ship and release production systems.

Three engagement tracks

AI, blockchain, or both — pick the track that fits your build.

Some founders need a focused agentic AI build. Others need a regulated blockchain product. A growing share need both — agents whose decisions are committed on-chain. I deliver each as a first-class engagement, not a side offering.

Still life: an ivory sphere circled by thin brass orbits, a metaphor for an orchestrator agent and its sub-agents.

AI-only engagements

Pure agentic AI builds — LangGraph, LangChain, Temporal, evals, guardrails, and production rollout.

Still life: a chain of frosted glass cubes joined by brass seams on travertine, a metaphor for a ledger.

Blockchain

Blockchain-only engagements

Pure on-chain builds — smart contracts, Cosmos SDK, regulated DeFi, validator quorums, and audit-ready architecture.

Still life: an ivory sphere and a frosted glass cube joined by a slender brass rod, a metaphor for AI bridged to blockchain.

Hybrid AI + Blockchain

Agents whose actions are verifiable on-chain — bridging policy, proofs, and autonomy without compromising either side.

Case studies

Real products, honestly documented.

Echonos AI, Sukaizen and four years at Build My Dapp: what the problem was, how it is built, and exactly what my role was.

View all

AI Platform

Echonos AI

AI music video generator that turns a song into a beat-synced, story-driven video. I run release engineering and cloud infrastructure as Senior DevOps Engineer.

Problem:: A long-running AI generation pipeline, a Next.js studio and webhook services all have to ship together without breaking generations in flight.
Impact:: One branch-aware release path from staging to production, with smoke checks, rollback and a hotfix lane.

Next.jsPythonFirebaseGoogle CloudVercel

E-commerce

Sukaizen

The e-commerce brand I founded: embroidered Japanese sukajan jackets, shipping worldwide, with an English and Japanese content engine behind it.

Problem:: A niche craft product with real search demand but little trustworthy content, and a large Japanese-speaking audience.
Impact:: Live storefront plus a bilingual library of motif and buying guides feeding search, Pinterest and short video.

Blockchain

Build My Dapp

Four years as CTO leading web3 delivery for client projects: smart contracts, Node.js APIs, integrations, frontends and design.

Problem:: Founders with a dapp idea and no in-house blockchain team needed the entire stack built and explained.
Impact:: A repeatable delivery process that took client projects from idea to a working decentralized app.
