Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kashifaziz and https://kashifaziz.me/about/
Freelance technical consultant, hands-on engineer and product owner. I take project-based work: architecture and roadmap decisions, code audits, MVPs, and turning AI-built prototypes into products another developer can trust.
Selected client work (under confidentiality, so no names):
- Large US news publisher: an election-results review tool that polls a GraphQL API on a schedule so editors can verify numbers before they use them.
- Same publisher: automated article services on Cloud Run, and an AI prototype that extracts structured data from article text.
- Earlier systems in healthcare, oil and gas, and sports analytics, where uptime and bad data have real costs.
Public work, with case studies:
- Multi-tenant analytics dashboard with role-based access, using Clicky and Search Console data: https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/multi-tenant-analytics-dashb...
- Halal Code Check, a consumer web app with scan, voice and manual lookup, and in-browser OCR: https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/halalcodecheck/
- Outreach Planner, an open-source CRM in one HTML file that works offline: https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/outreach-planner/

Thanks for taking out the time to look into the template and sharing your feedback. Appreciated.
Having said this, that's just a demo template and users can tweak and configure the template as they deem fit.

- An outreach planner composed in a single html file. Data can be exported to, and imported from, a JSON that can be passed to the LLM for enrichment. https://kashifaziz.me/outreach-planner/
- An analysis pipeline that takes data from D1 (storing user searches), Posthog and Clicky (analytics) to periodically generate user journey reports.
- halalcodecheck.com - a database of emulsifier codes and food ingredients. Building this with the goal to help consumer verify and find alterantives of food ingredients across US, EU / UK and Asia.

Working on halalcodecheck.com - a platform to verify food ingredients. Something that started as a tool to scan or upload product labels to verify ingredients has now transformed into a repository of brands, food types, and guides covering major accreditation bodies in the US, UK, Canada etc.
In April, the site receievd 3,500 clicks from Google - 7× growth month-on-month. Cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
Working as a solo founder, some of the stuff I shipped last month:
⤷ Launched a seasonal gifting vertical - new revenue surface, new content format, reusable template for future occasion launches
⤷ Audited verdicts for all brands and food items, incorporating data from various authentic sources and official accreditation bodies
⤷ Expanded programmatic SEO across ingredient and brand categories
⤷ Turned zero-result dead-ends into a list growth lever

I have used tmux, tmuxup, fzf and direnv to automate my workflow. It's pointed to the work folder, contains a project picker, invokes shell with defaults (npm run dev, python manage.py runserver etc), and fires up cursor - saving a lot of keystrokes for project initialization.
I have written about the process here: https://kashifaziz.me/blog/tmux-dev-workflow/

Contact: https://kashifaziz.me/contact/
Independent software developer who helps founders and teams ship production-grade software fast — and clean up the AI-generated code that's quietly accumulating technical debt.
If you're a startup trying to move from prototype to scale, or a legacy business that needs modern tooling bolted onto existing systems, that's my wheelhouse.
Recent work:
- Multi-tenant analytics dashboard — full-stack SaaS with RBAC, Clicky + Google Search Console integrations, and Cloudflare Workers — https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/multi-tenant-analytics-dashb...
- HalalCodeCheck — took a working scanner and rebuilt it as a guided decision-support product with onboarding, trust messaging, and section analytics — https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/halalcodecheck/
- Outreach Planner — full CRM shipped as a single self-contained HTML file, zero backend, works offline — https://kashifaziz.me/portfolio/outreach-planner/
Also available for vibe code cleaning — structured audits of AI-generated codebases before they go to production.
Open to contract, part-time retainer, or project-based work.

Binge watched it. I think the first 2 seasons were great.
Lee Pace did an awesome performance recently in Asimov's Foundation. Mackenzie Davis, another lead in the show, demonstrated good potential but she seems not to get much afterward (Terminator, Station 11 etc)

Built https://halalcodecheck.com - a web app to scan product labels and identify the status of E-Codes. It is an offline first app and offers image scanning, upload, e-code database search through voice and typing.
It is currently in beta. Will be adding barcode scanning and other features pretty soon.
Another tool I built recently is a dashboard to provide a single view for web and social stats. Currently integrate Clicky stats (via their API). Next in line is Google Search Console and social integration.

I started doing remote back in 2002, working with companies in the UK and US, something that was largely unheard of in my country. While our mode of communication was web messengers (AOL, Yahoo, MSN etc and the aggregators), I used IRC a lot to get tech help, and participate in online dicussions.

What is your general use case with Claude Code / Codex? $70K/year is a significant spend.

I recently did some reading on the blight in Baltimore. Lots of vacant neighborhoods with severe impact on the economy. Seems the private sector is eager to support but staying back due to various factors like crime-rate, lack of neighborhood development, exorbitant utility charges etc.
I work at the intersection of product strategy, AI automation, technical execution, and growth systems. Recent work includes building HalalCodeCheck, a product intelligence and verification platform serving 25,000+ monthly users across 20 countries, alongside projects in sports analytics, inventory management, OCR-powered verification systems, and AI-assisted business workflows.
Whether you're launching a new product, modernizing an existing platform, implementing AI-driven automation, or building scalable growth systems, I focus on practical solutions that create measurable business outcomes.
## What I Help With
- MVP Development: Turning ideas and rough concepts into production-ready products. - Product Strategy & Technical Direction: Bringing clarity to complex technical and product decisions. - AI Automation & Workflows: Implementing practical AI solutions that improve operations and customer experience. - Growth Systems: Building analytics platforms, programmatic SEO engines, and automated data pipelines. - Platform Modernization: Reducing technical debt and preparing systems for long-term growth.
## Why Work With Me
- Founder Perspective: I build and operate products myself, not just for clients. - Proven Execution: 25+ years of hands-on experience across software, sports analytics, e-commerce, publishing, oil & gas, and consumer platforms. - Business-Oriented Approach: Technology is a means to an outcome, not the outcome itself. - Ownership Mindset: I focus on shipping, learning, and creating momentum rather than generating reports and roadmaps.
Always happy to discuss products, AI, growth, startups, and the evolving halal technology ecosystem.
