Based in East Brunswick, NJ. Working with clients across the US.

AI agents and automation
Most businesses don't need an "AI strategy". They need the follow-up text sent, the question answered, the video captioned and the spreadsheet updated. I build agents that do those jobs and plug into the tools you already use.
- Reply to new leads in under a minute and flag the serious ones
- Answer customer questions from your own info, any time of day
- Caption, trim and reformat video and posts
- Handle onboarding, data entry, reports and inbox sorting
Things I've built
- SpeedLead
- Texts every new real estate lead back within 60 seconds, scores how serious they are, and sends hot leads to the agent.
- Ayah Captions
- Video captioning for Muslim creators. Fixes misspelled Islamic terms, adds honorifics, checks Quran references, exports SRT and VTT.
- Masjid.ly pipeline
- Reads masjid posts on Instagram and Facebook, removes duplicates, and publishes a clean events calendar every night.
- FLOI Poster Studio
- Flyer editor for local organizations with AI design suggestions and background removal.

About me
I study computer science at Rutgers and have engineering experience at Fortune 500 companies. I started Cipher in 2024 after seeing small businesses get stuck between DIY templates and agencies that pass them to a junior developer after the sales call.
When you work with Cipher, you talk to the person writing the code. So far that's meant storefronts, a mortgage platform, automation for a nonprofit, the website for my own student community, and a handful of AI products of my own.
Tell me what you're working on.
The first call is free and there's no obligation. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so.
