AI automation and agentic systems
I'm Tushar Gupta: architect, product lead and AI engineer in one. You work with me from the first question to production, with no hand-offs between a strategist, a project manager and a developer.
What I build
Software that drafts, sorts, matches and follows up inside the tools you already use. A person approves anything that matters before it goes out.
For example: every inbound inquiry arrives qualified, routed and with a drafted first reply.
Data that moves on its own between forms, inboxes, spreadsheets, your CRM and your back office, with checks so bad data stops instead of spreading.
For example: a monthly owner report assembled from data you already hold.
Backends, data pipelines and databases built the way production systems need to be built: monitored, tested and easy to hand over.
For example: a scheduled pipeline that tells a human when it fails instead of failing silently.
Featured demo · fictional US listings
A buyer writes in plain English: “3 beds and a big backyard for the dogs, 500 to 600k, could stretch to 640k, within 2 miles of Riverside Park.” The system returns ranked listings, a “why it matched” breakdown for each, a lead score, follow-up questions for anything missing, and a CRM-ready record.
This is a demo I built, not client work. Every listing, neighborhood, school and price is invented. It runs entirely in your browser.
How working with me starts
A 30-minute call, or stay on email if you prefer. I learn where your week goes and tell you honestly whether AI is the right fix.
A small, time-boxed slice of your real workflow, working. The fee is credited to the build if you continue.
A written scope and a fixed price for the rest, agreed after the proof of concept. Everything is built in your accounts.
Bug fixes and breakages are covered for two months after go-live (new features are quoted separately). I acknowledge issues within one business day.
How I build
Most AI projects don't fail on the prompt. They fail on the plumbing: missing context, no tests, no limits, nobody watching. I test every system on your own examples before go-live and show you where it fails, not only where it works. People approve the steps that matter, costs are capped, and every action is logged.
About me
I've spent about ten years as a software engineer and architect, leading work on high-traffic production systems: APIs, data pipelines, databases and cloud infrastructure in Python, Go and Java. Today I focus on AI agents and automation for small and mid-sized businesses.
When you hire me, the person who scopes the work is the person who builds it and the person who fixes it. You own the code, the accounts and the data.
Hours. I'm in India (IST) and work async first: progress lands while you sleep, and replies come within 24 hours on weekdays.
Calls are Monday to Friday, 8–10 AM or 6–9 PM IST. In US winter time the evening slot is 7:30–10:30 AM Eastern, and the morning slot is 6:30–8:30 PM Pacific the day before. Add an hour during US daylight saving time.

FAQ
You shouldn't have to pay a stranger for a conversation. Thirty minutes is enough for me to understand the problem and for you to decide if I'm the right person. If you'd rather not get on a call, send the details with the form below; that works just as well.
A small, time-boxed piece of your real workflow, built and working, usually on a sample of your own data. It starts from $200, with a fixed price agreed before I begin, and the fee is credited to the full build if you continue. If it doesn’t prove the idea, you stop there with no further commitment.
Bug fixes and anything that breaks in what I delivered, for two months after go-live, at no extra charge. New features and scope changes are quoted separately. I acknowledge every issue within one business day.
You do. I build in your accounts (your cloud, your automation tools, your repositories) wherever possible, and hand over the code, the credentials and plain-English notes on how it works.
You send a short brief, I reply with questions or a plan, and progress lands overnight with a written update. Calls happen in the overlap windows when they help. Most decisions can be made in writing.
Contact
Two lines are enough: what the task is and how often it happens. I reply within 24 hours on weekdays, with honest next steps, even if the answer is that you don't need AI.
