I started doing remote back in 2002, working with companies in the UK and US, something that was largely unheard of in my country. While our mode of communication was web messengers (AOL, Yahoo, MSN etc and the aggregators), I used IRC a lot to get tech help, and participate in online dicussions.
I recently did some reading on the blight in Baltimore. Lots of vacant neighborhoods with severe impact on the economy. Seems the private sector is eager to support but staying back due to various factors like crime-rate, lack of neighborhood development, exorbitant utility charges etc.
Seeking Work | Remote | Python and AI | Turning Ideas into AI-Powered Products
I help startups move fast by transforming existing apps into AI-enabled products and running quick experiments to test new ideas. My focus is practical AI, building things that ship, scale, and create value without unnecessary overhead.
What I bring:
- Add AI features to your product (chatbots, recommendations, predictive insights, vision/NLP tools).
- Rapid prototyping → MVPs in days, not months.
- Clean data pipelines + APIs that support AI at scale.
Recent work:
- Embedded an LLM-based support agent in a SaaS app (cut response time by 60%).
- Built a lightweight recommendation engine for a marketplace MVP.
- Designed real-time OCR + entity extraction for a fintech startup.
This post resonates deeply with how I build products, especially in the era of LLMs and AI-assisted coding.
I usually start top-down, sketching the API surface or UI scaffold before diving into real logic. Iteration drives the process: get something running, feel out the edges, and refine.
I favor MVPs that work end-to-end, to validate flow and reduce risk early. That rhythm helps me ship production-ready software quickly, especially when navigating uncertainty.
One recent WIP: https://zero-to-creator.netlify.app/. I built it for my kid, but I’m evolving it into a full-blown product by tweaking the edges as I go.

Looking for freelance or fractional roles — short or long-term.
India has had good luck building solar panels over irrigation canals. The shade substantially reduces the evaporation losses in the canal system. The framing is a bit tricky of course.
Yeah the channelized sections of the Colorado would be a good candidate as well, though I personally believe the bigger solution is reintroducing beavers into the upper water shed, to increase total average flow.
It's counterintuitive, but beavers fundamentally change the soil conditions and cause a lot of the overall flow to be away from the surface.
Beavers are one of the sadly misunderstood creatures and are almost entirely responsible for all the good valley farmland we have thanks to their thousands of years of terraforming.
If you can afford the medium term loss of land, a beaver setting up a dam on your property is a good thing. Unfortunately, most cannot, or are unaware of the benefits they bring and only consider them pests.
Technologies: Python (Django, Flask, Pandas etc), JS, various databases, cloud
