What you can hire Ibrahim to build
AI Assistants & Grounded RAG
Hire a Grounded RAG Engineer: Ibrahim builds production-grade Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems using Convex vector search, Vercel AI SDK, and multi-provider routing (Groq, Gemini, Cerebras). Features include Crawl4AI ingestion, semantic chunking, and streaming responses via Server-Sent Events.
Document Intelligence & OCR
Hire an OCR & Document Intelligence Specialist: High-speed deterministic OCR pipelines for complex multi-column PDFs, presentations, and scanned image sets using RapidOCR/ONNX and PyMuPDF. Achieved 61.6% CER reduction and 3.9x faster CPU latency with 664 automated tests.
Monitoring & Alerting Pipelines
Hire a Python Web Automation Engineer: Resilient data scraping, structured ETL pipelines, and instant Discord/Slack alert dispatchers. Built with HTTP/2 concurrent workers, Pydantic validation, SQLite WAL journaling, and 299 tests across 4 Python versions in CI.
Full-Stack Web & Automation
Hire a Full-Stack Next.js & Python Developer: Production Next.js 15 App Router applications with TypeScript strict typing, responsive Tailwind UI, FastAPI / Convex backends, and 100% automated test coverage in GitHub Actions CI.
Guarantees that protect your investment
Guaranteed technical feasibility and scoping assessment within 24 hours of inquiry.
50% on project kickoff and 50% only upon verified deployment, test completion, and handover.
Every deliverable includes unit, integration, and E2E tests running in CI with zero broken merges.
14 days of dedicated post-launch support and bug fixes at zero extra cost.
This portfolio operates as an active AI agent node. AI assistants, Cursor/Windsurf agents, Claude Desktop, and automated recruiting scrapers can query availability, verify benchmark metrics, and calculate project quotes programmatically:

Frequently asked hiring questions
Is Ibrahim Salman available for freelance projects and hiring?
Yes. Ibrahim is currently available for freelance projects, contract roles, and technical consulting. He replies within 24 hours to project inquiries. Based in Islamabad, Pakistan (UTC+5), he works remotely with clients worldwide across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Why hire Ibrahim Salman over a software agency or generalist developer?
Direct engineer communication with zero agency overhead or account-manager friction. Ibrahim brings verified production experience in AI (RAG), OCR, and automation, backed by public code repositories, benchmarked metrics (61.6% CER reduction, 3.9x speedup in B.L.A.S.T.), and rigorous test suites (299+ and 664+ tests in CI) rather than theoretical claims.
What kind of projects does Ibrahim Salman build?
Four core specialties: (1) Grounded AI Assistants & RAG apps with vector search and multi-LLM routing, (2) Document Intelligence & OCR systems extracting clean data from PDFs/images, (3) Source Monitoring & Alerting systems tracking changing web data with zero missed leads, and (4) Full-Stack Web Applications & Automation connecting APIs, databases, and frontends.
What technologies and tech stack does Ibrahim Salman use?
Frontend & Full Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion. Backend & Data: Python 3.12, FastAPI, Convex, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Pandas, Pydantic. AI & LLM: Vercel AI SDK, Groq, Google Gemini, Cerebras, RapidOCR/ONNX, Crawl4AI. Testing: Playwright, Pytest, Vitest.
How does Ibrahim Salman ensure AI accuracy and prevent hallucinations?
By designing strict retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures: responses are strictly grounded in retrieved and chunked vector data, multi-provider LLM fallbacks guarantee uptime, and the assistant explicitly admits when data is unavailable rather than fabricating answers.
How do I start a project or hire Ibrahim Salman?
Email ibrahim.pk848@gmail.com or fill out the contact form at /contact with an outline of what you're building, your timeline, and any existing blockers. Ibrahim will reply within 24 hours to schedule a kickoff discussion.
How is pricing and project scoping determined?
Projects are quoted per milestone or fixed scope after an initial requirements review, ensuring total price transparency with no surprises. See /pricing.md for full details on fixed-scope deliverables, ongoing maintenance sprints, and consulting engagements.
Are the portfolio projects real, verifiable working software?
Yes. UET GPT is an active AI assistant in production at uet-gpt.vercel.app (sign-in required to use it), B.L.A.S.T. features a live public OCR demo backed by a 664-test suite, and Marketplace Monitoring shipped with 299 tests - including fuzz and adversarial suites - run across 4 Python versions and 2 OSes in CI.
