[For Hire] AI Engineer with patents, pubs, and production scars.

Hi. I build things that actually ship. Resume: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A6jjz0AOiWZBz5VzN_Ep4BvnsgnMykMB/view?usp=sharing

1.8 years of production experience across LLMs, RAG pipelines, voice agents, and agentic AI systems. I've got 2 filed patents, a Springer publication, and enough failed deployments to know what not to do (which is honestly more valuable).

What I've built in the real world:

  • Voice AI receptionist for NHS GP surgeries
  • Legal RAG chatbot (patented)
  • Real-time violence detection system (also patented, also slightly terrifying)
  • Industry intelligence platforms, lead gen engines, document AI systems

Open to:

  • Full-time roles (India, remote, or relocation)
  • Freelance projects (LLM apps, RAG, voice agents, dashboards)
  • Anything that isn't a "ChatGPT wrapper with extra steps"

Rate: $25–45/hr depending on scope and complexity.

If you have an interesting problem and a budget, let's talk.

AI Engineer with 1.8 yoe. Patent holder. Multiple publications. Looking for a job.

I have experience building production grade systems from end to end.
The reason for the switch is that our founder has overambitious dreams every week. He wants to build his own Claude and Perplexity. We are the scapegoats in case the marketing team fails.

I am the only backend dev here. And there's a frontend dev. I have been handling backend and AI build, dummy frontend builds (with streamlit) because he cannot wait till the frontend dev completes his work, QA testing, HR and hiring and reels.

And all I get paid is 28k inr (almost 280 usd) per month.

And I wish to work where I can focus on what I have loved doing.

Overambitious CEO. Devs are scapegoats. Need advice.

Hi, I am an AI engineer with 1.8 yoe and in a startup based in Kolkata. My salary is 28k inr monthly which is about 280 usd.

I do possess patents, publications and a national hackathon victory. The problems I have are endless and I am planning to resign and would love your opinions (and if anyone wants an enthusiastic dev).

Our CEO barely gets clients and blames it on us. I am handling backend, QA testing, product management, HR and hiring and as well as, now making reels. I was fine with that.

But now recently, he started this blame game and overambitious dreams. He wants us to build our own Claude (yes lol) and our own Perplexity (yes again). He sees insta posts and says, "Why can they make 5000 usd and why not us?"

Apparently everything we build is a waste even though he's the one making guidelines. It's gotten to a point where the entire tech team (2 people including me), keeps getting fire threats even after doing everything.

Should I resign?
