Asad Baig
@propugnator
Full-stack and AI engineer. 10+ live systems: clinical AI, hotel OS, CRM, stores. Karachi-based, remote, contract-ready in USD, EUR or GBP.
What I'm looking for
I engineer complete systems, not templates. I am a full-stack and AI engineer and the founder of Extolem, building AI agents, CRMs, stores, websites and mobile apps end to end for clients in the US, UK, EU, Australia and New Zealand.
Proof you can open:
- CiteWard (citeward.com): a clinical AI platform with 31 tools on one evidence layer. Every claim cites a retrieved source, and it declines to answer when evidence is missing.
- Iliria: a hotel operating system with an AI inbox across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and web chat, with human handover.
- TextileWays OS: a CRM with 105 data models and 87 test files that takes a buyer from enquiry to a quoted order.
- Daylo Casuals (daylocasuals.com): a Laravel site in 7 languages and 1,000+ pages with live inventory.
- Herbiix (herbiix.com): a store with a tool-calling AI kitchen, tested on a 27-case evaluation suite.
- NovoStitches, Celesya and PrepsNext: live sites and platforms I built, including a recruiting platform with a live auction.
How I work: written plan first, small steps, automated tests as quality gates, and agents that fail safely with guardrails, human takeover and an emergency stop.
Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Redis, Laravel, WordPress and React Native.
Looking for: contract or full-time remote work with a foreign team, paid in USD, EUR or GBP. I work from Karachi (UTC+5) with flexible hours that overlap US and EU time zones.
