Hire a freelance AI engineer.

I'm Neil Busque, an AI engineer in New Jersey. I build agents, LLM features, RAG systems and MCP integrations that connect to the tools where your work already happens.

What you get

I build software that uses AI for a specific job, with enough context, testing and guardrails to be useful after the demo. In practice, that includes:

  • AI agents that act. Not chatbots. Agents with tools that read your data, take actions and finish multi-step jobs. Read how I build them.
  • LLM apps. Features powered by language models: drafting, extraction, sorting, summaries and search. Built to be reliable in production, not just impressive in a demo.
  • RAG and retrieval. Grounding models in your documents and data, so answers are accurate and cited, not made up.
  • MCP integrations. Connecting models to your CRM, database and tools through the Model Context Protocol, so the integration is clean and reusable.

How I work

I work in small, written tasks, test the risky parts and review every change. AI coding tools write a lot of the code, and they make me fast. My job is to catch what they get wrong before your team or your customers do. I shipped more than 40 apps, agents and automations in 2026. Read how I ship in days and browse the work.

The difference

Prompting is the easy part. The useful work is choosing the right boundary, connecting the data safely, testing the failure cases and leaving behind something another engineer can maintain.

Common questions

Straight answers before we talk.

Ask me directly (opens in a new tab)
Which AI models do you use?

Whichever fits the job, usually Claude or GPT. I set things up so you can switch models later without starting over.

What if the AI gets something wrong?

I plan for it. Every agent gets clear limits that you approve before launch. Anything risky, like spending money, publishing or deleting, waits for a person to approve it. I test it on real examples from your business before it goes live.

Can you take over something another developer started?

Yes. I've taken over apps started by other developers and by AI app builders, cleaned them up and kept building. I'll look at what you have and tell you whether to keep it or start fresh.
