Hi, I'm M. Arslan

Full Stack AI Engineer · AI Automation Specialist

I build AI systems that run in production and that real users depend on every day — AI agents on Claude and OpenAI that call tools and take real actions, RAG over your own documents with cited sources, and automation in n8n, Make, and Zapier that removes manual work. Being a full stack engineer means I build the product around the AI too: APIs in Node.js, NestJS, and Python, apps in React and Next.js, on PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis, shipped with Docker and CI/CD and monitored in production. 3+ years delivering real systems for clients across the US, UK, Europe, and the UAE.

Full products that are fast, observable, and built to last

From React and Next.js frontends to APIs, databases, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and AI agents — I build and run the whole thing.

// About

Full products, built to last
AI automation · integrations · full stack

I am a Full Stack AI Engineer and AI Automation Specialist with 3+ years of hands-on experience shipping systems that businesses actually run in production, not demos. Most of my work is AI and automation. I build AI agents and chatbots on the OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini APIs using tool and function calling, conversation memory, and human handover, so the AI takes real actions and knows when to pass a conversation to a person. I design RAG systems over a company's own documents with vector databases, so answers stay grounded in real data and can be traced back to a source. I build automation workflows in n8n, Make, and Zapier, custom API and webhook integrations, and full GoHighLevel and CRM setups covering lead capture, routing, follow-up, and appointment booking. What separates me from a typical automation operator is that I am also a full stack developer, so when something isn't possible with a native connector, I build it. I write services and REST APIs in Node.js, NestJS, Express, TypeScript, and Python with FastAPI, design PostgreSQL and MongoDB schemas, use Redis and queues for background work, and build the interfaces and admin dashboards in React and Next.js. I ship with Docker, CI/CD, and monitoring on AWS and DigitalOcean. I build automation the way software should be built — with retries, rate limit handling, idempotency, error logging, and alerts — so leads, orders, and tasks never silently disappear. I hold a 100% Job Success Score and a 5.0 client rating on Upwork.

I own systems end to end — API design, databases, containers, deployment, and monitoring. No handoffs, no "that's not my job" when something breaks. My live SaaS is ChatPilot, a multi-tenant AI CRM used by paying clients in production.

I come from a strong competitive programming background — 700+ LeetCode problems and ICPC 2025 Regional — so problem solving, edge cases, and performance are second nature. I care about clean, observable systems that stay fast and reliable as they scale.

AI agents
wired into real
backend systems.

I build the AI layer that sits on top of solid backends — agents, LLM pipelines, custom MCP servers, and workflows that call real tools, take actions, and run reliably in production.

AI Agents

Chat, Voice & Call Agents

I build AI agents that plan steps, use tools, remember context, and fix errors on their own — chat, voice, and full call agents that talk to customers in real time.

  • Lead bots that talk to customers 24/7
  • Voice and call agents with OpenAI Realtime
  • Tool-calling agents that take real actions
  • Agents that read Slack and write reports
LLM Integration

OpenAI & Claude in Production

I integrate OpenAI and Claude into real backends — RAG over your data, function calling, and reliable prompt pipelines that run at scale, not just demos.

  • RAG over private data and docs
  • Function calling and structured outputs
  • Streaming responses and token control
  • Guardrails and fallback handling
MCP & Claude Code

Custom MCP Servers & Agentic Ops

I build agentic systems with Claude Code — custom MCP servers, Slack and GitHub integrations, and AI workflows that ship real code and run real operations.

  • Custom MCP servers for client tools
  • Claude Code agents for code review and ops
  • AI-driven CI/CD and deploy helpers
  • Internal tools that read context and act
Automation

n8n & Make Workflows

I build custom n8n and Make.com flows that connect AI agents to your business apps — easy for non-tech people to use and edit later.

  • Custom n8n nodes for any API
  • AI nodes for OpenAI and Claude
  • Self-hosted n8n on Docker
  • Make.com scenarios with branching logic

ChatPilot

Multi-tenant AI CRM Platform

A full multi-tenant AI CRM platform built on business messaging. It pairs a NestJS backend, a dedicated messaging server, a real-time web dashboard, and an AI agent layer so many businesses run on one system with full data isolation. AI agents chat with customers 24/7 and staff can take over any conversation at any time.

WB Connector

WhatsApp Connection Service

A dedicated NestJS service that holds the live WhatsApp session and forwards every inbound message to the platform over webhooks. It exists so the messaging connection can crash, restart or scale on its own without ever taking the main application down with it.
