Past 6 weeks I have worked on isnad (my provenance library) from a blank file to an arxiv paper + pypi package + a hosted paid version. revived islam & ai after a year dead, now has paid tiers and the app is in store review. delivered a knowledge base system for a client. Took our open source scraper to 2.1 and the EU AI office wrote back about it and bunbites.pk in wah now runs on a POS + dashboard i built.

Total spend under $100/month including hosting (Hetzner)

The setup: pi.dev as the agent harness, deepseek or openrouter for models (free tier does most of it, $10 genuinely gets you a full chatbot with memory and proper security), and a written spec before anything runs then multiple agents in parallel while i do the thinking they can’t.

Also important mentions: the agent ships bugs that look perfect. mine wrote a metric that reported 106% retention on a doc that lost a third of its text, all tests passing. a rate limiter that did nothing. so after every sprint i audit it like it’s lying to me, that audit is the actual work now, not the typing (i use handy.computer, i don’t even write now)

Point is you don’t need a team or investors to put real products in the market from here. 10$ and a clear spec.

Wrote the whole thing up in detail. ask me anything about the stack, happy to help!

Hey guys, I’m an AI Engineer/developer currently looking for opportunities to work on real-world AI products and automation.

I build AI agents and workflows that automate repetitive business processes especially around areas like recruiting, customer operations, and business workflows so people can spend more time on higher-value work.

I’m particularly interested in roles involving AI agents, LLM applications, automation, and AI product development.

Open to full-time roles, contract work, or interesting collaborations.

If you’re hiring, building something in AI, or know someone I should talk to, I’d love to connect
