I’m Anas Ali — full-stack engineer for AI-first products
3+ years building Next.js & NestJS products with AI baked in. I work with founders and small teams who need a single engineer they can trust with the load-bearing pieces — APIs, AI integration, SaaS foundations, and the cloud they run on.

I’m a Full Stack Engineer specializing in scalable web applications and AI-powered systems. The last three years I’ve been building production-grade products in Next.js, NestJS, and TypeScript — and integrating LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, Vertex AI) into the workflows that real businesses actually run on.
My favorite engagements are with founders who care about craft — people building things that need to be fast, observable, and honest — not just functional. Recent work has cut delivery time by 60% on a France-based AdTech platform and removed 75% of manual content work across automated video pipelines.
I’m based in Chiniot, Pakistan, recently graduated with a BSc in Software Engineering from FAST National University, and working with teams across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. I take on a small number of engagements at a time so I can stay close to the work.
How I think about the work
Boring infrastructure, bold products
I default to NestJS, Next.js, and well-understood data stores for the load-bearing parts — so we can take real risk where it actually matters: the product and the AI.
Honesty is faster
If an idea won't work, you'll hear about it on day one. If a deadline is at risk, you'll hear about it before it slips.
Show, then tell
I'd rather ship a working prototype than draft a 30-page spec. Most decisions get easier with a thing to point at.
Own the whole stack
From schema design to onboarding flow. The leverage is usually in the seams between layers — so I own them.
