Software engineer · building in public

Ali Arain.

I taught myself to code and never stopped shipping. I design, build, and ship AI products, MVPs, and native Mac apps, end to end.

I ship end to end: product sense, AI systems, web, and native Mac.
I own 0 → 1 — prototypes, launch, iteration — without a large team.
Production products in fintech, AI hiring, and marketplaces. NotchPrompt hit #8 on Product Hunt.
Open source on npm + pub.dev: askai, Fluttrify, Bank Alfalah Payment, AssetKamKaro.
Fixed-price, scoped upfront — no surprise invoices.
