I’m Samir Wagle, a freelance AI engineer and AI automation engineer in Lalitpur, Nepal. Technical partner for founders building with AI: workflow diagnosis, RAG development, implementation, API-cost control, and production handover. Available for remote collaboration worldwide.
Manual work ranked by value, frequency, feasibility, and failure cost.
02
Cost analysis
Current API spend, waste patterns, model-routing options, and estimated operating cost.
03
System design
Proposed architecture, integration boundaries, data flow, permissions, and human approvals.
04
Delivery plan
Security and reliability risks, phased implementation, acceptance gates, and ownership plan.
02
Build highest-value path after audit.
Models stay bounded. Code owns contracts. Humans retain control where failure is expensive.
01
Production AI pipelines
Models · data · evaluation · operations
Turn a model experiment into an observable system with explicit quality, latency, cost, fallback, and ownership boundaries.
What I build
Data ingestion, model routing, and output validation
Evaluation sets and release gates
Caching, batching, fallback, and API-cost controls
Deployment, monitoring, incident paths, and handover
02
AI systems and automation
Agents · workflows · document intelligence
Model calls stay narrow. Deterministic code owns contracts, permissions, retries, and expensive actions. Every workflow shows where judgment ends and automation begins.
What I build
Document and PDF extraction with source checks
Agents connected to CRM, inbox, and operations
Human approval for costly or irreversible steps
Scheduled data, content, and reporting pipelines
03
RAG and knowledge systems
Retrieval · grounding · evaluation
RAG is search plus evidence discipline, not a vector database demo. I benchmark retrieval first, define answer boundaries, preserve citations, and test when the system should refuse.
What I build
Corpus ingestion, chunking, and provenance
Lexical, dense, and hybrid retrieval baselines
Grounded generation and citation paths
Evaluation sets, failure analysis, and monitoring
04
Language and speech AI
Low-resource NLP · ASR · TTS
When English-first models meet low-resource languages, missing data and weak evaluation become product risks. I build baselines, datasets, adaptations, and tests that expose those risks early.
What I build
Dataset design, annotation, and quality checks
Multilingual embedding and model comparison
ASR/TTS adaptation and serving experiments
Multimodal ablations and error analysis
03
Judgment you can inspect.
Sanitized where work is confidential. Exact where evidence is safe.
