Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh (flexible with US/EU overlap)

Remote: Yes, remote only

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: TypeScript, Python, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Redis, OpenAI and Gemini APIs, RAG, AI agents, MCP, Claude Code, n8n, Clay, Apollo

Most early teams hire one person to build AI features and another to find customers for them. I do both, and I make sure the app is safe to launch.

Build: Cogniflow AI (open source, 27 stars), a RAG app over YouTube, podcasts and PDFs with citations that jump to the exact second. DevChat, real-time chat on Supabase with row-level security covered by 37 tests. Previously backend intern at Springer Capital (US).

Sell: I find companies that are ready to buy (fresh funding, active hiring, a live product) and turn that research into outbound campaigns, with a source behind every lead.

Secure: I audit AI-built apps (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor) for leaked keys, exposed files and auth gaps, plus missing privacy policies and subscription terms that create legal risk, before real users find them.

Looking for: AI engineer, GTM engineer or founding generalist at an early-stage startup. Contract only. CS student, graduating 2027.

Happy to start with a paid 1 to 2 week trial if you'd like to see the work first.

Most early teams hire one person to build the AI features and another to find customers for them. I do both.

Build side: Cogniflow AI (open source, 26 stars) is a RAG app that answers questions over YouTube, podcasts and PDFs, with citations that jump to the exact second of the video. DevChat is real-time chat on Supabase with row-level security checked by a 37-case test suite. I'm a backend intern at Springer Capital (US) on Node.js/Python services.

Sell side: I research who's ready to buy (fresh funding, hiring, live product) and turn it into outbound with a source behind every row.

Looking for: AI engineer, GTM engineer or founding generalist at an early-stage startup. Full-time or contract. CS student, graduating 2027.

Start with a paid 1-2 week trial if you'd rather see the work first.

Hi, I'm Shihab, a full-stack engineer and CS grad building real-time web/mobile and AI products for fast-moving startup teams. I'm currently shipping DevChat, a multi-tenant developer workspace and chat platform (Next.js 15, Socket.io, Redis), and Cogniflow AI, a multimedia AI notebook that runs RAG over videos and PDFs using the Gemini API.

My strongest areas are Next.js/React frontends, Node.js real-time backends, containerized deployments, and AI integrations (RAG pipelines, LLM evals, agentic workflows). I move fast with AI-assisted dev workflows without cutting corners on architecture or testing, and I write clear technical docs and communicate well with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Rates: $10–15/hr or fixed project pricing. Open to full-time, contract, or freelance.
