Working with me
1. Are you available for hire?
Yes. I am available for freelance projects and remote roles.
2. Do you build apps that are ready for production?
Yes. Everything I deliver is built for real users: validated inputs, error handling, logging, monitoring, tests, and a release process that does not take the product down.
3. Do you work freelance or full-time?
Both. I take on freelance projects and I am open to remote roles, with working hours that overlap US, EU and Gulf teams.
4. What is your hourly rate?
It depends on the scope. Small fixes and audits work hourly; full builds work better on fixed milestones. Send me the details and you get a clear number back, not a vague estimate.
5. How does a project with you work?
Four steps: a scope call, a written plan with fixed milestones and delivery dates, the build in small pieces with progress updates, then tested delivery with documentation and handover.
6. What are your working hours?
I am in Pakistan (UTC+5) and regularly overlap with US, EU and Gulf clients. I keep the hours your project actually needs.
7. Do you support the project after delivery?
Yes. Delivery includes documentation and handover, plus free support afterwards if something breaks.
8. How will I know how my project is going?
I ship in small pieces and send regular progress updates, so you always see what has been built and where the time is going.
9. Will you tell me if my project is not a good fit?
Yes. On the first call I tell you honestly whether the job is a fit and what it realistically takes.
10. What should I send you for a quote?
What you want built or fixed, the current state of the product or code, your deadline and your budget range. The more detail, the more accurate the quote.
11. Have you worked on products at launch?
Yes. I worked on the backends of DOP and Rain during their private sales and on Tomi through its token launch, when everything has to work the first time.
12. How do I hire you?
Message me on WhatsApp (+92 321 7815799) or email contacttoshahidkhan@gmail.com with your project details, and I will reply with next steps.
13. Are you available for AI Engineer or LLM Engineer roles?
Yes. I am open to AI Engineer, LLM Engineer, Senior AI Software Engineer and backend roles, remote or hybrid, as well as freelance AI projects.
14. Do you build production-ready AI systems, not just prototypes?
Yes. I take AI features past the demo: evaluation, monitoring, error handling, cost control, tests and a stable backend, so they keep working for real users.
