Most AI projects stall between the demo and the daily work. I close that gap. I join your team, learn how the work really gets done, and ship AI into it, inside the systems you already run. Then I hand it over, so your team owns it.
A forward deployed engineer (FDE) is a software engineer who works inside a customer's team instead of behind a product. Palantir made the role famous, and it is now how AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic get their models working inside real businesses.
You get the same thing without hiring a team. One engineer who sits with the people doing the work, writes production code, and stays accountable until it runs without him.
I join your calls and your tools, and watch the work happen. We pick the jobs where AI saves the most time or money.
I ship something real every week: agents and automations wired into your email, CRM, documents and databases, with checks for anything risky.
Your team gets the code, the docs and the know-how. You own all of it, and nothing depends on me to keep running.
2 weeks
Find the work AI should do, and prove it on your real data.
Teams that know AI should help but not where to start.
4 to 12 weeks
Ship AI into production, inside the systems you already run.
Teams with a clear use case, or an AI pilot that never shipped.
Monthly
A set number of days each month to add workflows and keep what you have sharp.
Teams that want AI to keep improving after launch.
6 to 16 weeks
An iOS, Android or web app, from first prototype to the store listing.
Founders and teams who need an app, with or without AI inside.
A forward deployed engineer is a software engineer who works inside a customer's team to get technology working in their real day-to-day operations. Instead of handing over advice, an FDE writes and ships the code, connects it to the customer's systems and stays until it works. OpenAI, Anthropic and Palantir all use forward deployed engineers. I offer the same role to companies that don't want to hire a full team.
Consultants usually stop at a plan, and agencies put a project manager between you and the people building. I do the discovery and the engineering myself, inside your team, and I ship working software into production every week.
Usually within two weeks of our first call. I aim to have the first workflow running on your real data within two to four weeks.
I'm based in India (IST, UTC+5:30) and work remotely with teams worldwide, including the UK, Europe, the US and the Middle East. My working day overlaps with the UK and Europe, and I make time for calls with US teams.
The AI workflow sprint is a fixed price. Builds are priced per week, and the ongoing work is a monthly retainer. Tell me what you need and I'll send a clear quote after our first call.
Yes. I build inside the systems you already use, such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, your CRM, your databases and your cloud account, rather than adding new tools for your team to learn.
You do. Everything is built in your accounts and repositories, and you keep all the code, prompts, evals and documentation.
I work inside your accounts with the access you give me, follow your security rules and sign an NDA if you need one. Sensitive steps get an approval step so a person checks the AI's work before it goes out.
Whichever fits the job and your rules, including Claude, GPT, Gemini and open-weight models. I test the options against your real tasks and pick on quality, cost and where your data is allowed to go.
Yes. I build iOS, Android and web apps, including member portals, booking and payment flows and admin tools.
Tell me about the job and the team that does it today. I'll reply with how I'd approach it and what it would take.
