Hey, I'm Hanif.

I build AI products, end to end.

Eight years building products. I talk to users, shape what gets built, and write the code. Most of my recent work has been with LLMs: agents, RAG, evals, and MCP.

Case Studies

What people I've worked with say

Hanif quickly understood our needs, both from a business and aesthetic perspective, and translated them into a clean, functional website in no time.

Monica Londoño Co-founder, Punto de Partida

He's reliable, communicates great, and has a sharp technical mind. Whether handling complex builds, troubleshooting under pressure, or adapting to shifting priorities, he was dependable every step of the way.

Markis Zarate Founder, Zarate Studios

He suggested design-to-engineering hand-off improvements to make our workflow more efficient, asked insightful follow-up questions during design reviews, and brought my Figma designs to life so we could deliver value to our users.

A bit about me.

I started building software because I like making things. I stayed because I like making things for people. Eight years in, the question I keep coming back to is: what does this person actually need, and what's the simplest version of that I can ship? I live in Buenos Aires, I'm working on Casamo—a tool for remote workers finding a stay worth booking—and I'm looking for a team where I can stay close to users and actually own what I build.

Based in Buenos Aires, working US hours.

More about me

Where I think this is going.

Everyone keeps saying taste is now the most important skill. I find that framing a bit annoying. It stops the question too early. Taste doesn't do much if you don't know what you want to build in the first place. AI has made implementation cheap. That shifts the bottleneck to something harder: being honest enough with yourself to pick the right problem and actually follow through.

What I believe

Let's talk.

If you're building a product and need an engineer who can talk to users and ship the code, I'd like to hear what you're working on.
