Ex-Microsoft engineering leader. Full-stack developer and technical partner. SaaS products, custom CRM/ERP systems, and production AI, built end to end.
After 17+ years at Microsoft spanning software development management, product management, information architecture, and customer success, I now work hands-on with founders and growing companies in healthcare, construction, pharma, aerospace, and staffing, building software that holds up in the real world, not just in a demo.
🟢 RESULTS, NOT PROMISES
= Moved a $20M construction company entirely off Excel and onto a custom operations platform
= Replaced 7 spreadsheets and a legacy Access database with one CRM for a pharma distributor (orders, inventory, field reps, compliance)
= Built a voice-driven surgical room system on OpenAI and Azure Speech
= Shipped a project management SaaS for aerospace and EV product programs, for non-technical founders
= Delivered a multi-turn SMS booking chatbot on OpenAI for a customer-facing pet services business
= Launched a staffing and recruitment platform for a luxury staffing agency (private chefs, estate managers)
🟢 WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
= SaaS MVP Development From idea to production: product scoping, UI/UX design, system architecture, web and mobile application development, and cloud hosting on Azure or AWS. You get a technical partner with a fractional CTO mindset, not a code-to-spec contractor. I will challenge scope and help you decide what truly belongs in v1, because shipping the wrong MVP costs more than shipping late.
= Custom CRM, ERP and Business Automation Custom web application development that brings orders, inventory, projects, field operations, and reporting into a single system built around how your business actually runs. Your team stops living in spreadsheets, and you finally get one source of truth.
=Production AI Integration OpenAI and Azure AI integrations, LLM-powered chatbots, and voice AI, complete with intent parsing, multi-turn conversation state, evals, and guardrails. The edge cases are what separate a demo from a product, and those are exactly what I have already solved in healthcare and customer-facing SMS automation.
🟢 WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME
= A written scope and milestone-based payments before anything starts
Naveed A. earns an estimated $16k/mo. That's 11× the typical freelancer and more than 99.96% of everyone we track.
= A working demo at the end of every sprint
= Every deliverable is architected, reviewed, and tested by me personally. Nothing ships without senior eyes on it.
= Executive-clear communication, honed over years of bridging leadership and engineering at Microsoft

🟢 READY TO BUILD?
Every engagement starts the same way: a free scoping conversation where I give you an honest read on scope, timeline, and the smartest first step. If we are a fit, you will have a written plan and clear milestones in front of you before a single line of code is written. If we are not, you still walk away with a sharper plan.
