I’m Ariful Wadud, a senior full-stack and AI engineer with 5 years of production-focused experience building end-to-end products for startups and founders. I love taking ideas through every step—data modeling and APIs, polished React/Next.js frontends and mobile experiences, app-store release, and post-launch iteration—so what we ship actually gets used. Recently I’ve been heavily focused on applied AI: LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, agentic systems, voice agents, and recommendation engines. I’ve delivered 26+ projects on Upwork with a 96% job success score, built production systems that are running today, and published 10+ mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play, including one with 60,000+ users.
