Custom AI Development
AI Developer for Businesses That Need Working Software, Not Demos
If you're looking to hire an AI developer, you're usually solving one of two problems: you have a repetitive process eating up staff time, or you want to add AI capability to a product and don't know where to start. I'm Talib Husain, an AI developer and full-stack engineer who builds custom AI applications end-to-end — backend, frontend, database, and the AI layer — using Python (Django REST Framework, FastAPI), Next.js, PostgreSQL, and OpenAI's LLM APIs.
I specialize in LLM developer work: retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), evaluation and scoring systems, and AI features embedded directly into real business software — not standalone chatbot widgets bolted onto a website.
AI-Scorer — LLM Application Development
Problem
Manually grading open-ended answers was slow and inconsistent across human graders.
Solution
Built an LLM-based evaluation application from scratch — a custom scoring engine that uses the OpenAI API to grade answers against a rubric and return instant, structured feedback, wrapped in a full Next.js + Node.js product.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an AI developer actually do?
An AI developer designs and builds software that uses artificial intelligence — usually large language models — to perform a real task: extracting data, answering questions from your own documents, scoring or classifying content, or automating a decision. That means writing backend APIs, designing databases, and integrating AI models into a product that actually runs in production, not just prototyping in a notebook.
How much does it cost to hire an AI developer?
It depends entirely on scope — a focused integration (e.g., adding AI scoring to an existing app) is a much smaller project than a full custom platform. I scope every project individually after understanding what you're trying to solve, rather than quoting a generic day rate. Reach out with your use case and I'll give you a real estimate.
Do I need to understand how AI works to hire an AI developer?
No. Most clients come to me with a business problem, not a technical spec — missed leads, slow manual processes, inconsistent customer response times. Part of the job is translating that into the right AI/software architecture, not requiring you to speak in model names and APIs.
What's the difference between an AI developer and a chatbot company?
A chatbot company typically sells you a configured instance of an existing chatbot platform. An AI developer builds custom software — which might include a chatbot, but also covers backend logic, database design, integrations with your existing tools, and AI features that go well beyond conversational Q&A.
Can an AI developer integrate with my existing software?
Yes — most of my projects integrate with existing systems: CRMs, phone/SMS providers, booking platforms, or internal databases. I build the AI layer to fit into how your business already runs rather than asking you to replace your existing tools.
