About Me

I turn AI into working business systems — not slide decks.

I'm Talib Husain, an AI Engineer and Software Engineer based in Lahore, Pakistan. I specialize in building production AI systems — voice and SMS calling agents, LLM chatbots, RAG pipelines, and full-stack AI SaaS — using Python (Django REST Framework, FastAPI, Flask), Next.js, PostgreSQL, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Twilio.

I currently work as a Software Engineer at Pluginfy Technologies, and hold a B.S. in Computer Science from FAST-NUCES Lahore. Outside of full-time work, I take on select client projects — from AI voice agents to internal automation tools — end to end.

Ships production systems

Not prototypes — voice agents, chatbots, and platforms running live for real businesses today.

Full-stack + AI in one hire

Backend, frontend, database, and the AI layer — one engineer instead of coordinating three.

Reliability-first engineering

Django REST Framework / FastAPI backends built for uptime, error handling, and clean data.

Direct communication

You work with the engineer building your system, not an account manager relaying updates.

AI Calling Agent

Problem

Businesses were missing inbound calls and leads outside business hours, with no fast, consistent way to qualify every inquiry that came in.

Solution

Built a production voice and SMS AI agent that answers calls, holds natural conversations using ElevenLabs voice synthesis and OpenAI, and follows up automatically over SMS. Backed by a Django REST Framework API and a Next.js operations dashboard, with Twilio and Skyetel handling telephony.

Legal Case Intake System

Problem

A Canadian personal injury law firm was managing client intake, claim forms, and case workflows manually, slowing down onboarding for every new client.

Solution

Built a case intake platform that digitizes and automates claim forms, document collection, and workflow routing so new cases move through intake without manual bottlenecks.

AI answering service SaaS

Answer Strong

Problem

Small businesses needed reliable 24/7 phone coverage without the cost of a full-time answering service.

Solution

Built a multi-tenant AI answering service SaaS on FastAPI with Vapi for voice AI, deployed on AWS, so subscribing businesses get automated call answering, screening, and routing around the clock.
