I build AI that runs
your business
An AI engineering practice in Auckland, New Zealand for startups and operators. I find the bottlenecks in your business and replace them with AI, automation, and the lightest software that solves the problem. Shipped, not pitched.
One operator. End-to-end. No layers.
Rayyan Consulting is a solo AI engineering practice run by Rayyan Abzal out of Auckland, New Zealand. I've shipped production systems across creator-economy CRMs, payout automation, and on-chain platforms. Different domains, same engine: find the manual bottleneck, replace it with the lightest system that solves it.
Solo by design. The person who scopes your project is the person who writes the code, deploys it, and answers when something breaks. No accounts team, no junior dev getting handed the actual build. You talk to me, I write the system, you get the outcome.
AI is a tool, not a deliverable. Four principles shape every engagement.
AI should replace work, not add it.
If implementing AI means more tools to learn, more dashboards to check, or more processes to follow, it's the wrong implementation. Good AI is invisible to the people whose work it replaces.
Start with the bottleneck, not the technology.
"We should use LLMs" is not a project. "This manual process eats 20 hours a week" is. Find the real bottleneck, then choose the lightest tool that solves it. Sometimes an LLM, often just well-built automation.
Build for the team, not the demo.
AI tools are only valuable if non-technical people use them every day. Ship simple interfaces a team adopts in an afternoon, not impressive demos that gather dust in a Notion doc.
Measure in hours saved, not features shipped.
The only metric that matters is whether the business runs faster after the build. Every proposal names the manual hours we expect to eliminate, and we measure against that at handover.
AI-first. Full-stack when needed.
Not sure if your problem is a fit? The intro call is free. We'll figure it out together.
Most engagements, in New Zealand and beyond, start with finding where AI or automation can replace manual work, then shipping the lightest system that does it. When the project needs a full product or platform, I build that end-to-end too.
A manual process is eating your week.
I find the bottleneck, then build the automation or AI workflow that removes it. Your team keeps the tools they know; the busywork disappears.
You want AI inside your existing product.
I add LLM features, agents, and pipelines to the codebase you already have. No rebuild, no rip-and-replace. Most engagements are additive.
You need the whole tool built.
Platform, dashboard, bot, or contracts: I design, build, and ship it end to end, then hand it over with docs and a team walkthrough.
Outcomes, not just code.
Each case study leads with what changed for the business. Stack and approach beneath.
Client Engagements
Influence
Team went from spreadsheets to a purpose-built platform. Outreach runs end-to-end.
Internal CRM that ingests creator data, calculates estimated value, matches campaigns, and automates follow-up reminders. Replaced a manual scouting workflow that consumed hours per week.
FeedHack
Zero manual overhead. Submissions, validation, and payouts run automatically.
End-to-end automation handling Discord-based clip submissions, automated validation, rank-based payouts, and a full web dashboard. Replaced a manual review pipeline.
pumpdat
Shipped end-to-end: contracts, real-time feed, frontend, auth. Live and handed over.
Full-stack token launchpad: Solidity contracts, real-time trade feed, frontend with wallet and Twitter auth. Pump.fun-style mechanics, built from scratch.
Influence v2
Same client came back. Live partner management moved out of chat threads into the platform.
A Current Roster module built inside the existing CRM: monthly KPI uploads, FTD progress tracking, auto-calculated CPA, flat fee spend, and Telegram reminders. Staff upload a CSV, the platform does the math.
Personal Builds
Built for myself, to learn, scratch an itch, or test how far AI can go.

B2B SaaS enrichment API. Turns fragrance names into structured product data (notes, accords, longevity, AI-generated descriptions, images). Production-grade auth, rate limits, async batch enrichment.
ARIA
AI-powered personal stylist mobile app. Upload an outfit photo and chat with ARIA for specific style feedback based on occasion, weather, and goals. Vision API end-to-end.
NZ Job Finder
Scrapes Seek, LinkedIn, Indeed for grad and intern roles, scores each against your CV, generates tailored cover letters. Two-pass pipeline: seniority filter then full CV match.
