Things I believe after building with AI: - If you do something manually more than twice, automate it. - AI agents are the most fun thing you can build right now. - A demo that works beats a pitch deck every time. - The best engineering is invisible. You only notice when it's missing.

Hi, I'm Ayesha, a Full-stack developer in Berlin. I spend my days in TypeScript, React and Python, mostly teaching LLMs to do real work. Think agents that plan code changes and push them to GitHub on their own, RAG assistants, CRM automation that cut response times in half.

I'm new here on Contra so I put together a quick tour of my portfolio and what I build. My favorite part is the AI agent that runs a Kanban board by itself. Full breakdown coming in my next post.

Your turn. What's rule #1 in your work?

Rule #1 in my work would be: done is better than perfect, ship first and polish later

Rule #1: "There has to be a better way," you've just found your next project.

Most of the things I've built started with frustration, not inspiration.

Ledger — AI CFO Platform Ledger is an AI platform that acts as an always-on Chief Financial Officer for founders — connecting to accounts, learning cash rhythm, and surfacing risks before they become real problems. I designed the full landing page. My role: UI/UX Design Scope: Landing page Financial tools for founders usually feel either cold (dashboards) or intimidating (accounting software).

For Ledger, we borrowed from old-world institutional finance instead — serif type, oil-painting textures, classical architecture — so an AI CFO feels like real authority, not another app.
