Haider Bokhari

AI Engineer + Full Stack Dev, LLM Agents, Voice AI, and App Developer

Hi there

I’m Haider, an AI engineer and full-stack developer based in Ontario, Canada. For 3+ years I’ve been shipping LLM-powered products: AI agents with tool calling and RAG, realtime and voice AI, and the production web apps around them. Right now I’m building AI features at Arctic Wolf. Before that I was at Topline Pro (YC W21), and before that I reported to the CTO of Ecomtent, an eBay-backed AI startup whose tool drove $1M+ in sales. I’ve won 1st place at two company hackathons, and I studied Computer Science (AI) at the University of Toronto.

I like working close to the product and the people using it, and I’m happiest turning a rough idea into a working demo fast. Outside of code: boxing, reading, weightlifting, and gaming.
