What people say after I ship

I was extremely satisfied with the collaboration with Aklile. The developer perfectly understood my needs and was able to translate them into concrete and effective solutions. Communication was smooth and the work was delivered on time.

He was incredibly patient and took the time to break down JavaScript concepts in a way that made complex logic much easier to understand — guiding step by step instead of just giving answers.

What I deliver

AI-native full-stack ownership from idea to shipped product

One engineer who spans frontend, backend, mobile, and AI — so you spend less time coordinating and more time launching.

SaaS & web applications

Full-cycle product work from MVP to scale — Next.js, React, NestJS, and APIs that stay maintainable.

Backend & infrastructure

Distributed systems, Docker, queues, and data pipelines built for reliability and measurable throughput.

Mobile applications

Cross-platform React Native apps shipped to real users with auth, device features, and solid UX.

AI-native product engineering

LLM features, RAG, evals, and MCP-enabled workflows that make AI useful in production.

AI workflow automation

Agentic automations and tool-calling pipelines: docs, alerts, ops tooling, and human-in-the-loop flows.

Stack

Skills & tooling I ship with

Stack up front, then deeper services — a practical slice of what I use on real roadmaps for SaaS, mobile, and AI work.

About

AI-native engineer, partner mindset

I'm Aklile Yilma, an ai-native full-stack developer. I work with startups and established teams to ship web apps, mobile products, AI-assisted features, and the APIs and infrastructure behind them — including direct engagements alongside marketplace work.

You get direct access to me — no agency handoffs — with weekly visibility, pragmatic architecture, and honest timelines.

Working AI-native means I lean on LLMs, RAG, MCP-connected tools, and evals so one engagement can cover frontend, backend, product iteration, and shipping ops without handoff overhead.
