AI Consulting & Fullstack Development for Products That Scale.
I help organizations implement AI that delivers real ROI — and help individual builders turn vibe-coded prototypes into production-grade products. Federal TPM. Army veteran. Full-stack founder.
Three Ways to Work With Me
Whether you lead an organization, need open-source AI tools set up, or you're building your dream product — I have a service for you.
AI Consulting
Strategy, automation, dashboards, and custom AI tools for enterprise, government agencies, nonprofits, and small businesses. Production-grade solutions from a federal Data Science TPM.
Open Source AI Setup
Live setup sessions for OpenClaw, Claude Code, Ollama, LM Studio, and n8n. I install, configure, and secure everything on your Mac, Windows, or cloud VPS via screen-share.
Vibe Coding Sessions
1:1 Google Meet sessions to take your AI-generated prototype to production. Auth, databases, deployment, security — everything AI tools miss. Starting at $75/session.
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned
Small Business
Eligible for federal set-aside contracts. SBA-certified SDVOSB with active experience across the VA, Army Corps of Engineers, and IRS.
Not a Strategist. Not a YouTuber. A Builder.
Everything I deliver, I've done in production — at the VA, Fortune 500, the Army, and across 4 of my own products.
Federal DataScience Leadership
Data Science TPM at the VA. Initiated the THINK-TANK for AI exploration and drafted my division's first AI SOP. Real compliance, real scale.
3 Degrees with 2 Masters
MS Data Science (Fordham), MPA in Healthcare & Public Policy (Baruch), BSc in Biochemistry & Math (McNeese). I speak tech, data, safeguard, policy, and compliance.
Army Veteran (SDVOSB)
U.S. Army Veteran (2013–2017). Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. Discipline, integrity, and mission-first execution.
400+ Software Beta Tested
Beta tested 400+ software products including 100+ AI tools, and consulted on 20+ SaaS products. I know what separates prototypes from production.
Enterprise & Government
Senior IT Program Manager at Mango Consulting, Economist at Army Corps of Engineers, Paralegal at IRS. I navigate complex organizations.
Builder & Founder
Founded TourSyncer, co-founded Chobhar Inc. Pioneered GenAI with multiple LLMs for SaaS platforms and chatbots. Idea to revenue.
Manish vs. Freelance Platforms
Toptal, Upwork, and Fiverr connect you with strangers. I show up with 10+ years of hands-on experience, federal clearance-level trust, and skin in the game.
Who You Work With
You work directly with me — a federal Data Science TPM with 3 degrees, 10+ years in analytics, and 400+ software products tested. No handoffs, no junior associates.
You get matched with a freelancer from their network. Quality varies. You don't choose who — Toptal's algorithm does.
You browse profiles, interview candidates, and manage the engagement yourself. Hit-or-miss quality.
You pick from gig listings. Most AI consultants on Fiverr have no enterprise or government experience.
Industry Expertise
Federal government (VA, Army Corps, IRS), Fortune 500, nonprofits, startups, law firms, and education. I've operated in all of them.
Tech-heavy. Strong in software development. Weak in government, nonprofit, and regulated industries.
Generalists. You'll find someone who says they do AI, but rarely with compliance, federal, or domain depth.
Consumer-focused gig workers. Almost no government or enterprise consulting experience.
Security & Compliance
Current federal employee handling sensitive data daily. FedRAMP-aware. I teach self-hosted AI for maximum privacy. SDVOSB certified for government contracts.
No inherent compliance focus. You'd need to vet each freelancer's security knowledge independently.
No compliance guarantees. Freelancers may handle your data on personal machines with unknown security.
No enterprise security standards. Not suitable for sensitive government or healthcare data.

Real Clients. Real Outcomes.
From government contractors to nonprofits to solo founders — here's what working together looks like.
“Manish showed us exactly how to position our veteran-owned business for government AI contracts. He understands both the federal procurement process and the technology — that combination is rare. We walked away with a clear strategy and actionable next steps.”
“I had zero coding experience but wanted my own e-commerce site. Manish taught me how to vibe code it myself — I built and launched bellemayaprints.com in our sessions together. Now I can update it, add products, and make changes without hiring a developer every time.”
“As a nonprofit, every dollar matters. Manish helped our association understand how AI can streamline our tax reporting and technical operations. He explained everything in plain language and gave us tools we could use immediately — no expensive software, no ongoing fees.”
“After 30 years of paper-based legal research, making the jump to AI felt overwhelming. Manish walked me through the transition step by step — which tools are reliable for case law, how to verify AI-generated research, and how to integrate it into my existing workflow. It's transformed how I prepare for cases.”
