Building intelligent systems that think, learn and ship
I'm Farooq Khan — I build ML pipelines, fine-tune LLMs, and ship AI-powered products. Based in Pakistan, working with teams worldwide.

My name is Farooq Khan, an AI engineer who turns research into products that actually ship. By the way, my friends just call me Hoti!
I love turning messy, ambiguous problems into working systems — whether it's an LLM pipeline, a data product, a full web app, or the AI strategy behind a business's next move.
I don't assume, and I don't enforce. I listen first — then bring solutions that blend what you actually need, what I've learned shipping AI in production, and what the research says works.

Working with Farooq for the last 1.5 years made a massive difference for us at Volt. We weren't getting any real traffic from Saudi before, but he came in, took over our local strategy, and got us ranking in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam way faster than expected.
End-to-end AI engineering — not just experiments, real production systems
Designed for teams that move fast and need AI that actually works.
I own every layer — from raw data and model selection to deployment and monitoring — so your AI ships and keeps working.
AI & Machine Learning Systems
LLM fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, NLP, computer vision and end-to-end MLOps — from notebook to production API.
Intelligent Web Applications
Full-stack products with AI at the core — real-time APIs, dashboards, chatbots, and integrations that scale with your users.
Strategy & AI Consulting
AI adoption roadmaps, model selection, architecture reviews and team training — so your organisation builds the right things.
Selected projects built to solve real problems
AI & Machine Learning Systems
Production ML systems including RAG pipelines, LLM fine-tuning, NLP APIs, and computer vision deployments — built to scale, not just demo.
Intelligent Web Applications
Full-stack web products that put AI front and centre — real-time inference, smart dashboards, chatbot integrations, and scalable backends.
Open Source Contributions
Tools, libraries and experiments released publicly — from fine-tuning utilities to evaluation frameworks that the community actually uses.
Shipped work across AI, web and open source
Ideas, experiments and lessons from the field

What clients and collaborators say
Working with Farooq for the last 1.5 years made a massive difference for us at Volt. We weren't getting any real traffic from Saudi before, but he came in, took over our local strategy, and got us ranking in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam way faster than expected.
Farooq built out the core AI auditing and report generation pipeline for our ledger system. Since it's a closed fintech app, accuracy was non-negotiable. He handled the complex financial edge cases smoothly, kept the code clean, and delivered the private repo ahead of schedule without any hand-holding.
Farooq's open source RAG toolkit saved us weeks of work. Beyond the code, his explanations in the docs show a deep understanding of why things work the way they do. It's rare to find someone who can both build and teach at that level.
Working with Farooq's team on our AI strategy was the best investment we made last year. They gave us clarity on what to build, what not to build, and how to sequence it — saving us probably six months of wrong turns.
Let's build something intelligent together
Ideal if you're looking for a senior AI engineer to own your ML stack, lead research, or join a team building the next generation of intelligent products.
Ideal if you need AI integrated into an existing product, a greenfield ML system built from scratch, or a high-quality technical prototype fast.
Ideal if you want to develop your team's AI capabilities, audit your current ML systems, or build a clear roadmap before committing engineering resources.
