Ali Arain
Solo builder from Pakistan.
Founders bring me ideas I bring back working products.
No team, no timeline games, just shipped software.
Most work is private client work , github.com/aliarain has what's public.
For founders & hiring managers
- Ships end-to-end: product sense, AI systems, web, and native Mac.
- Comfortable owning 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.
Work
Products I built end-to-end. Everything else lives in builds.
Teleprompter that lives in your Mac notch , screen-share invisible
Word-level real-time highlighting, 3 overlay modes, 100% on-device. #8 on Product Hunt.
AI-powered ATS , post a job, screen everyone, swipe the shortlist
Replace resume triage with scored shortlists your team can review in minutes.
Memory infrastructure for AI , cited context or honest refusal
Gives models real memory so answers cite sources or decline instead of guessing.
Tourism marketplace , travellers meet real local experiences
Connects travellers with vetted hosts instead of generic tour bundles.
Packages
Open source on npm and pub.dev , small tools that solve real problems.
