I'm Hussain. I've been shipping software since 2008.

I grew up in Surat, studied computer science at Veer Narmad South Gujarat University and graduated with the gold medal. My first job was leading a small web team. My second was tech lead at Zycus in Mumbai, building enterprise software that people used all day and complained about loudly. That taught me more than university did.

In 2014 I started Araneux, a dev studio back home in Surat. We've built web apps, mobile apps and backend systems for clients around the world. Between 2017 and 2019 I went deep on blockchain and led smart contract work on four products. They're under NDA, so they stay unnamed here.

When language models got good enough to do real work, I moved my focus there. Today most of what I build is AI that sits inside a business: agents that triage and act, assistants that answer from a company's own data, and the product around them. These days I lead engineering on a handful of AI products for other founders, and in 2026 I started Altrun to put all of it into a product of my own.

I work best embedded with a client team, as a forward deployed engineer, on whatever hours the team keeps. I learn the workflow, scope what's achievable, build it, and stay accountable once it's live, including the messy parts. Most clients who find me on Upwork end up working with me directly for years, over Trello or Jira, email and WhatsApp.
