Adam Shaaban

Hi, I'm Adam.

I build AI products. I can build yours.

Senior AI engineer and founder of four live products, with eight years shipping to millions of users. I take on one or two teams at a time to build their AI: agents, RAG, evals, the whole production system, while they stay focused on everything else. I ship things that hold up with real users, not just in a demo.

Free to start a new project this month.

Contract-to-start, fully remote, no sponsorship needed. I usually reply the same day.

Ways to work together

Bring me in the way that fits.

One or two clients at a time, so you get a senior who's actually paying attention.

RETAINER

Fractional AI lead

I own your AI roadmap a few days a week: architecture, agents, evals, the production layer.

FIXED SCOPE

Build sprint

A defined thing, shipped to production in two to four weeks. Scoped up front, delivered against outcomes.

ADVISORY

Architecture audit

A week inside your AI stack, out the other side with a roadmap of what's sound and what will break.

Proof, not slideware

Products I've shipped, labeled honestly.

Real things with real users, marked by where they actually are. The same standard I'd hold your build to.

Where I've built

Eight years of shipping, before this.

Let's talk

Tell me what you're building.

Working on something where a senior pair of hands would move it faster? Send me a line about it. Two sentences is plenty to start. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person, and if I am, how I'd approach it.

I also write about the parts that break, in the open. Read the notes.
