Ahad Ali · Georgia Tech CS, Meta Software Engineer, grew up in a family business
Custom AI solutions for your operations, logistics, and day-to-day workflows. Built around how your business actually runs, not how a generic product thinks it should. No extra complexity. Just less manual work and more time back in your day.
The Problem
You know AI could save you time and money. But everything out there is built for big companies with IT departments. I learn how your business works, find what's eating your time, and build something custom that handles it. No extra headaches. Just less on your plate.
Sound Familiar?
You're losing hours every week to data entry, inventory updates, or manual processes that should run themselves.
Your operation depends on someone remembering every step. When they forget, things fall through the cracks.
You've looked at off-the-shelf products but nothing fits how your business actually works. Or worse, it would take months to learn.
Case Study: Divine Diamonds
Watch it in action
AI product listing and inventory management built for Divine Diamonds
The Problem
Divine Diamonds, a family-owned jewelry store, had thousands of pieces and no way for customers to browse them online. Every product had to be manually entered. Photos, descriptions, categories, pricing. The owner was spending close to 5 minutes per item, and there was no website at all.
What I Built
Phone photo to finished listing in seconds
Anyone on the team takes a photo from their phone. The product details, category, and description are filled in automatically. They just confirm and it's listed.
Phone photos that look professional
Every photo is automatically cleaned up. Backgrounds removed, lighting corrected. No expensive camera or photo setup required.
A real website, built from scratch
They had no web presence. I designed and built divinediamondsfl.com for them. When a product is confirmed, it goes straight to the site. No extra steps.
"Inventory was a headache. It took way too much time out of our day. Now I click one button and everything is organized exactly how I want it. I didn't even realize how much time I could save and now devote to my customers."
Custom AI Solutions
Not a product you install. I study how your business runs, find the bottlenecks, and build custom AI and automation to eliminate them.
📱 AI Data Processing
5 minutes of typing, done in 5 seconds
Snap a photo or scan a document. AI extracts the data, fills the fields, and files it where it belongs. You just confirm.
📦 Supply Chain & Logistics
Know what's low before it runs out
Smart reorder alerts, demand forecasting, and automated purchase orders. Your supply chain runs on data, not guesswork.
🔄 Workflow Automation
Replace the checklist with a system
Invoicing, follow-ups, status updates, approvals. If your team does it the same way every time, it can run itself.
📊 Operational Intelligence
See what's actually happening
Live dashboards, trend reports, and alerts built from your own data. Decisions backed by numbers, not gut feeling.
🔗 System Integration
Update once, update everywhere
Your POS, your website, your spreadsheets, your vendor portals. Connected so information flows automatically between them.
⚡ Custom Builds
If it can be built, I'll build it
Websites, internal tools, customer portals, or something that doesn't exist yet. You describe the problem, I deliver the solution.
The Process
From first conversation to something your team is using. No surprises, no steep learning curve, and everything is priced for real businesses, not corporations.
You Walk Me Through Your Day
Tell me what takes too long, what falls through the cracks, what your current setup doesn't cover. I'll figure out what can be fixed.
I Build It Around How You Work
Not a generic product. Something built for your specific problem. You see progress before the final delivery.
Your Team Uses It the Same Day
No training manuals. No learning curve. If it doesn't fit into how you already work, I haven't done my job.
I Stay Involved After Launch
I don't disappear after delivery. I maintain what I build, fix what breaks, and improve things as your business changes.
Who I Am
My father owns a jewelry store. I watched him lose hours every week to work that technology should be handling. That's why I started Blacksmith. Georgia Tech CS, built production systems at Meta, Amazon, and EA. Now I build custom AI for businesses like yours.
