CV

Hi, I'm Riasat

I build human-centric software, from full-stack web applications to AI-assisted developer tools. My work pairs clean design with solid engineering judgment to build tools people actually want to use.

Projects range from full web applications to local recommendation engines built on hybrid embeddings and text search, to extensions for AI coding agents. Scroll down to see them.
