01 / About
I build things
at the edge of
what's possible.
I've been engineering software for six years — from solo freelance builds to leading delivery on multi-tenant SaaS. The throughline: building systems at the intersection of elegant code and real-world impact.
From LLM-powered tools and Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines to distributed AWS serverless backends, I work across the full stack with a bias toward infrastructure that scales. AWS Solutions Architect Associate certified, with production experience in React, TypeScript, Next.js, Python, FastAPI, LangChain, and cloud-native patterns built to outlive the demo.
Recent production work spans Promptly (a Socratic product-requirements workspace built on FastAPI + Anthropic Claude with WebSocket streaming), SBA Loans HQ (a multi-tenant SBA lending portal with AWS Textract OCR and Gemini-powered document automation), and Quanta (a browser-based natural-language SQL dashboard with SELECT-only safety enforcement across PostgreSQL and MySQL).

06 / FAQ
Common questions.
- What kind of engineering work do you take on?
- Production AI/LLM features (RAG, agents, structured outputs across Claude / GPT / Gemini), AWS serverless architecture, and full-stack web builds with Next.js, React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. Strongest on multi-tenant SaaS, AI-augmented workflows, and cloud-native systems where reliability matters.
- Are you available for full-time roles?
- Yes — open to senior software engineer, staff engineer, or tech lead positions, remote-first, ideally with EMEA or US-East timezone overlap. Also open to fractional and contract engagements.
- What's a typical engagement length?
- Contract work usually runs 4–16 weeks for a focused build (LLM feature integration, MVP, or AWS migration), or ongoing as a fractional senior engineer. Full-time roles are open-ended.
- What timezones do you work across?
- Based in Lahore, Pakistan (UTC+5 / Asia-Karachi). Standard overlap with EMEA all day and US-East mornings. Comfortable shifting hours for sync-heavy clients.
- Do you have AWS certifications?
- AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03), issued March 2024, valid through March 2027. Production experience across Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, S3, RDS, Textract, CloudFormation, and Terraform.
- Which LLM and AI tools have you shipped to production?
- Anthropic Claude (Sonnet and Opus), OpenAI GPT-4, Google Gemini, LangChain, embeddings and vector retrieval, AWS Textract for OCR, and custom evals. Recent work: Promptly (Claude-powered Socratic spec workspace) and Quanta (Gemini + Claude natural-language SQL with SELECT-only enforcement).
- How do I scope a project quickly?
- Email hello@nivyan.dev with one paragraph on the problem, current stack, and timing — or book a 30-minute call at calendly.com/bnivyan09. I respond within a business day.
