Faizan A.

I help SaaS founders and product teams build AI agents, RAG systems, and full-stack applications—from architecture through production deployment.

I’m a Top Rated Plus engineer with $800K+ earned on Upwork and experience leading product and engineering at Esketchers since 2014. I combine technical leadership with practical delivery to help you turn a product idea or an AI use case into working software.

WHAT I CAN HELP YOU BUILD
• AI agents and workflow automation that connect your tools, data, and business processes.
• RAG applications and AI assistants built around your documents and knowledge.
• AI-powered SaaS features using OpenAI, Anthropic, Python, and FastAPI.
• Full-stack SaaS platforms and marketplaces using Django, React, Next.js, Node.js, and AWS.
• Architecture and delivery plans for teams that need senior technical direction.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
• Guideli: An AI platform that uses LLMs and RAG to draft US visa petitions from a CV.
• LulaCommerce: My team built the platform from scratch. The company later raised $10M, and the platform now serves 4,000+ stores.
• AUAV INSITE: Cloud software for drone inspection and spatial data workflows.
• Mental Health Match and UK Therapy Guide: Platforms helping people find and connect with therapists.
• LOCL: Software that helps businesses manage their local search presence across multiple locations.

HOW WE’LL WORK TOGETHER
We start by defining the business problem, reviewing your existing systems, and agreeing on a clear first milestone. You get practical recommendations on architecture, scope, and implementation, followed by regular demos and direct communication with me.

As CTO of Esketchers, I bring senior technical leadership and access to an engineering team when your project needs additional capacity. We agree on my role, the team’s responsibilities, and the delivery scope before work begins.
