## Why Abu (differentiators)

- **Production, not demos** — years of running LLM systems under real traffic: 10,000+ concurrent users, ChatGPT-level latency, strict output grounding.
- **Low-level LLM control** — streaming, function calling, structured output, fallbacks, retries, and usage/cost control behind provider-agnostic layers (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models).
- **Evaluation-first** — builds custom eval benchmarks and regression suites so agent behavior is measured before shipping and after every change.
- **Private deployments** — VPC, on-premise, and fully air-gapped installations with self-hosted models for sensitive data.
- **Founder-level ownership** — current Co-founder & Lead AI Engineer; treats engagements end to end: architecture, build, deployment, monitoring, hand-off.
- **Full-stack depth** — production backend engineering (Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust; FastAPI, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis) alongside the AI layer.

## Services

- **Agentic AI development** — Agents that plan, call real tools, recover from failures, and complete multi-step work in production — not demos. (LangGraph · OpenAI Agent SDK · Claude Agent SDK · Pydantic AI)
- **Multi-agent orchestration** — Explicit state management, parallel execution, and clean hand-offs across specialized agents. (State machines · worker patterns · failure recovery)
- **Production LLM integration** — Streaming, structured output, fallbacks, retries, and usage/cost control behind one provider layer. (FastAPI · NestJS · Python · TypeScript)
- **Agent evaluation & verification** — Custom evaluation benchmarks and regression suites, so behavior is measured before it ships and after every change. (Eval harnesses · tracing · LLM-as-judge)
- **MCP & tool integration** — Model Context Protocol servers, and your internal APIs and databases made first-class agent tools. (MCP · function calling · auth & permissions)
- **Private & on-premise AI** — VPC, on-premise, and fully air-gapped deployments for sensitive data — the model comes to you, data never leaves. (Docker · Kubernetes · AWS · GCP · self-hosted GPU)
- **Fractional AI engineering** — A part-time embedded AI lead: architecture decisions, code review, mentoring, and roadmap for your team. (Ongoing · advisory · 10 h/week typical)

## Engagement models (fixed quotes, agreed in writing before work starts)

- **AI Agent Pilot** — from $2,500 USD, fixed scope · 2 weeks. One production-grade agent workflow: scoped together, built, evaluated, and handed off with documentation. The fastest way to see real working software.
- **Production build** — from $8,000 USD, fixed scope · 4–8 weeks. A multi-agent system end to end: architecture, evaluation suite, deployment, monitoring, and a clean hand-off to your engineers.
- **Fractional AI engineer** — from $3,000/mo USD, retainer · ~10 h/week. Embedded part-time AI engineering for your team — architecture calls, implementation, reviews, and iteration, month to month.

## How it works

1. **Email** — Describe the problem, your stack, and your timeline. A rough budget range helps but isn't required.
2. **Scoping call** — A free 30-minute call within a few days. We turn the idea into a concrete, bounded scope.
3. **Fixed quote** — You get scope, price, and milestones in writing. No hourly ambiguity, no surprise invoices.
4. **Build & hand off** — Weekly demos in your repo where possible, documentation included, full ownership transferred on payment.

## FAQ

- **How much does it cost to hire an agentic AI developer?** Fixed-scope pilots start at $2,500 (two weeks), production builds at $8,000 (4–8 weeks), and fractional retainers at $3,000/month. Every engagement is quoted as a fixed price after a short scoping call, so you know the full cost before work starts.
- **How quickly can you start?** I take on a limited number of engagements at a time, which keeps quality high. After the scoping call, most projects kick off within two to three weeks — if your timeline is tighter, say so in your first email and you'll get an honest answer.
- **Can you work inside our existing codebase?** Yes. Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust are all in active use. Many engagements start as an audit or an incremental integration into the system you already run.
- **Can the AI run in our private infrastructure?** Yes — it's a specialty. VPC, on-premise, and fully air-gapped deployments with self-hosted models are all experience-backed options, so sensitive data never has to leave your environment.
- **What timezones and languages do you work in?** Based in Bangladesh (UTC+6): European business hours and US mornings/evenings both overlap well. Work is async-first, in English, with weekly written updates.
- **Do you sign NDAs, and who owns the code?** NDAs are fine. You own all code and IP; work happens in your repository wherever possible, with full ownership transferred on payment.
- **What should I include in the first email?** The problem you're solving, your current stack, a target date, and a rough budget range. That's enough for an accurate, fixed-price reply within 24 hours.
