Kasim Kazmi

Software Developer, App Architect & AI Workflow Builder

I am a Toronto-based software developer and app architect with 8+ years of experience building custom mobile apps, full-stack web platforms, and AI-assisted developer workflows. I have delivered projects for overseas and in-house teams, led developers through production builds, and founded my own startup work from idea to launch. My work combines React, React Native, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, Prisma, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and modern AI/agentic coding practices to ship maintainable, secure, and user-focused software.

AI and engineering practices

I use AI as an engineering accelerator, not a replacement for judgment. My workflow pairs agentic coding, source-grounded research, structured code review, and targeted testing so projects move faster while still staying understandable and maintainable.

  • AI-assisted planning, implementation, debugging, and review workflows
  • Agentic coding practices with clear prompts, verification loops, and human review
  • Reusable full-stack patterns for authentication, data models, APIs, and UI delivery
  • Performance, accessibility, SEO, and maintainability checks before handoff
  • Pragmatic architecture that avoids overbuilding while leaving room to scale

Beyond client work

Alongside contract work, I build and maintain RK DevTools, a free, privacy-first suite of 57+ browser-based developer and design utilities — no logins, no uploads, no tracking. It's the same engineering standard I bring to client projects: fast, accessible, and built to actually be used. I also write about the engineering behind these projects on the blog.
