Software development services
Built and run by Muhammad Kashif Irshad — eighteen years of engineering, seven of them on Upwork across 28 jobs and 1,686 billed hours, with a Job Success Score above 90% and full marks on 27 of those 28 jobs. Working remotely from Lahore, Pakistan (UTC+5).
The proof is on this site rather than in a portfolio PDF: the AI product, its live demo, the AI CRM demo, the animated films made by an AI pipeline, the cited answer pages and the research behind them were all built here, end to end.

- Built Irshad AI Employee (WhatsApp, web widget and portal) on Django, Cloud Run and PostgreSQL, over 946 statutes and 2,500+ court judgments.
- Built Irshad AI CRM (live demo on this site): React/TypeScript sales workflows with an AI analyst over PostgreSQL and BigQuery data.
- Data pipelines and reporting for clients in Canada, the UK and the US: QuickBooks, Fishbowl and marketing data into BigQuery, dbt, Airflow and Power BI.
