AI systems,
deployed where they actually have to run.
Built end-to-end - on your infrastructure, with your messy data. Three systems currently in production.
Services
Work with me
The systems on this page are the interview - everything below was built, deployed, and is running in production.
Contract & forward-deployed engineering
You've sold or scoped an AI capability. I deploy it inside your customer's actual environment. I embed with the customer, ship the integration end-to-end, document it, and hand it over. Per-deployment fixed price or monthly retainer.
Fixed-scope builds
A production-ready pilot of your system in 3–4 weeks. Fixed price, deployed in your environment, documented and handed over. Pilots convert to full builds when they earn it.
Legacy ERP modernization
New capability on top of systems that already run - dashboards, integrations, automation - without forcing a migration. StockIQ below is the pattern: retrofitted onto Tally ERP with no plugin and no process change.
15+ years across Amazon, Microsoft, startups, and two years shipping production Rust to Ethereum and Starknet mainnets - environments where bugs cost real money.
What it does
- Generates PDF quotations and proforma invoices from a plain WhatsApp message - text, voice note, or a photo of a handwritten list
- Regular updates for copper and aluminium prices
- Handles multi-turn conversations - follow-ups carry context forward
- Pricelist updates via a simple admin interface
- Works on WhatsApp and Telegram
- Supports a shared team workspace on a web interface
⚙ Technical Architecture
Smart Alerts and Google like search for your CCTV Feed.
Action Search connects to existing CCTV cameras and continuously analyses the feed. It identifies vehicles, cranes, and people - tracking each one over time - and logs a structured event every time something arrives at or departs from the monitored area. Those events are instantly searchable. Alerts arrive in Telegram the moment an event is detected. No footage leaves the premises. No cloud subscription required. Works on commodity hardware.
Fits: warehouses, logistics hubs, manufacturing facilities, industrial sites⚙ Technical Architecture
QuoteWatch watches the sales mailbox and turns quotation conversations into a clean daily action list. It shows which customers still need a quotation and which sent quotations need follow-up, without asking the sales team to maintain a pipeline.
What it does
- Detects quotation requests and commercial replies directly from Gmail threads
- Separates quotation pending and follow-up pending work into a simple daily report
- Ignores unrelated mail such as invoices, logistics updates, newsletters, and internal chatter
- Uses Gmail labels like Ignore, Order Received, and Order Closed as lightweight cleanup signals
- Gives owners and sales managers a daily view of missed replies and follow-ups
StockIQ connects to Tally's built-in API - no plugin, no modification to how your team uses Tally - and presents a modern operational dashboard directly in a browser. Accessible from any device on the local network.
What it does
- Cut-length analysis - identifies cable batches below sellable threshold
- Reorder dashboard across different products
- Colour-coded wire stock grid by brand and size
- Per-item movement metrics: turnover ratio, days inventory on hand, margin, ROI
- Full purchase and sales history per item in a single view
- Runs on the same Windows machine as Tally - no extra hardware
- No internet connection required. No data leaves the local network
⚙ Technical Architecture
Process
From First Call to Live System
From first call to production in weeks, not quarters. Most engagements move fast because the hard patterns - LLM pipelines, multimodal input, ERP integration, on-prem inference - are ones I've already shipped and run in production. We're not starting from a blank page. We're assembling proven pieces around your specific problem.
Scope
One or two calls to understand your workflow, fix the deliverable, and agree on the price.
Build
I build the system and show progress weekly, so there are no surprises at the end.
Deploy & hand over
Shipped into your environment, documented, and yours to run.
About
Built by someone who understands the problem.
Avant Garde Labs is a focused, one-person software studio. I was an engineer at Microsoft and Amazon, built two startups, and shipped production Rust, Solidity and Cairo smart contracts to Ethereum and Starknet mainnets.
I've also spent a decade running an operations-heavy distribution business - which is why the systems on this page exist: I built them for my own operations first, and I've been my own first customer and my own forward-deployed engineer. I know what breaks between the demo and the daily grind.
Working with Avant Garde Labs means working directly with the engineer who built the system. No account managers, no handoffs.
