Independent software developer who helps founders and teams ship production-grade software fast — and clean up the AI-generated code that's quietly accumulating technical debt.

If you're a startup trying to move from prototype to scale, or a legacy business that needs modern tooling bolted onto existing systems, that's my wheelhouse.

Recent work:

- Multi-tenant analytics dashboard — full-stack SaaS with RBAC, Clicky + Google Search Console integrations, and Cloudflare Workers — https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/multi-tenant-analytics-dashb...

- HalalCodeCheck — took a working scanner and rebuilt it as a guided decision-support product with onboarding, trust messaging, and section analytics — https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/halalcodecheck/

- Outreach Planner — full CRM shipped as a single self-contained HTML file, zero backend, works offline — https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/outreach-planner/

Also available for vibe code cleaning — structured audits of AI-generated codebases before they go to production.

Open to contract, part-time retainer, or project-based work.

Lee Pace did an awesome performance recently in Asimov's Foundation. Mackenzie Davis, another lead in the show, demonstrated good potential but she seems not to get much afterward (Terminator, Station 11 etc)

It is currently in beta. Will be adding barcode scanning and other features pretty soon.

Another tool I built recently is a dashboard to provide a single view for web and social stats. Currently integrate Clicky stats (via their API). Next in line is Google Search Console and social integration.

E-codes can be verified by scanning or uploading product label and searching the e-codes database (voice or type).

Now looking for partnerships to extend the reach.

Appreciate the feedback.

Résumé/CV: kashifaziz.me

Product focused Software Consultant looking for remote contract or freelance positions. These days, I am doing AI-enabled software development, vibe code cleanup, MVP development and business application development. Have worked with mid-to-large sized businesses in the Europe, US and Middle East.

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.

Tech stack: Python, LangChain, OpenAI APIs, FastAPI, Django, Postgres, AWS/GCP.

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.
