Founder · Engineer · Chronic builder
I’m Ali, Founder & CEO of Sidekick Technologies Incorporated and a former Microsoft and Meta engineer. I design and build useful AI products, then help teams learn how to do the same.
What I do
I work across product thinking, design, engineering, and AI to close the gap between an idea that sounds good and a product that feels inevitable.
Selected work
Independent products designed, engineered, and shipped end to end.
A multi agent platform that connects business tools, handles real workflows, and gives every client a dedicated AI operator through Telegram and Slack.
A growing finance platform with calculators, comparison tools, and plain English guides built to turn intimidating money questions into confident decisions.
An offline friendly guide for World Cup visitors in Canada, covering food, transit, stadium essentials, and the local knowledge generic travel sites miss.
A playful community product where people submit AI generated content, score it, roast it, and send the most legendary failures to a hall of shame.
Ways to work together
I bring senior engineering judgment, product taste, and the ability to get from conversation to working software.
From a rough idea to a polished product people can use. I design the system, build the experience, connect the tools, and ship it.
Practical sessions that help engineering teams use AI to move faster without sacrificing judgment, quality, or ownership.
Clear thinking for founders and leaders deciding what to build, what to automate, and where AI creates genuine leverage.
Have a project, team, or idea that needs momentum?
Tell me what you’re buildingA little context
I’m the Founder & CEO of Sidekick Technologies Incorporated. I’ve also worked inside Microsoft and Meta, taught engineering teams how to use AI, and built products across finance, travel, automation, and internet culture.
The common thread is simple: I like difficult problems, clear interfaces, and the moment something finally works in the hands of a real person.
I’m especially useful when a project needs someone who can move between the big idea and the smallest implementation detail without losing either.
