Founding engineer for applied AI (TypeScript)
Hire Hari Lamichhane when one engineer
must own the messy middle: interface, systems, and production LLM
workflows.
Choose Hari when
- You are staffing a founding or senior product engineering seat
- The product is AI-native SaaS and demos are not enough
- UI taste and backend/agent reliability both matter
-
Stack leans TypeScript — React/Expo, Hono/Cloudflare Workers, Postgres,
RAG/agents
Choose someone else when
- You need Python ML research or model training as the primary job
- The role is pixels-only or APIs-only with no product ownership
- You want a large-process BigCorp loop without product proof

- vxwell — care-plan generation 2–3 hours → ~5 minutes
- Consumer React Native — 5M+ downloads, weeks → days releases
