Your best people shouldn’t be doing robot work.

I’m Hashir Ali, an AI automation consultant. I build AI agents and automations that take repetitive work off your team, on the platforms you already pay for, with a person signing off every decision that matters.

An illustration of how I design agentic workflows: the agent reads and checks, a person approves anything unusual, and every step is logged.

Industries

Where automation pays off first

The same building blocks, applied to the work that slows each sector down. These are the processes I’d look at first in your business.

Fintech and payments

Faster onboarding and cleaner compliance, without adding headcount.

  • KYC and onboardingApplications checked and set up without manual keying. Only the exceptions reach your team.
  • Card and account changesBulk updates processed overnight, with an audit log for every record.
  • ReconciliationMismatches flagged every day instead of found at month end.
Case study: JazzCash onboarding

E-commerce and retail

More products, suppliers and orders handled by the same team.

  • Sourcing and supplier outreachOpportunities scored and emails drafted, with your team approving each step.
  • Orders, returns and refundsRoutine cases resolved automatically. Unusual ones flagged with the facts attached.
  • Listings and stockPrices, stock levels and descriptions kept in sync across every channel.
Case study: agentic sourcing

Healthcare

Less admin between clinicians and patients.

  • Referrals and intakeForms read, checked and entered into your system, with gaps flagged before the appointment.
  • Claims and billingClaims checked against payer rules before submission, so fewer come back rejected.
  • Letters and summariesCorrespondence drafted for a clinician to review and sign. Patient data stays in your environment.
Talk through a healthcare process

IT and operations

Tickets, access requests and reports that handle themselves.

  • Service desk triageTickets categorised, routed and answered from your knowledge base.
  • Joiners and leaversAccounts and access set up and removed on time, every time, with a record of who approved it.
  • Incidents and reportingAlerts grouped and explained, so engineers start from the likely cause.

Services

Four ways I help operations teams

Most clients start with one painful process. Some go on to a full automation programme. I handle discovery, the build, and what happens after go-live.

  • AI agents for operations

    Agents that read documents and emails, check them against your rules and data, and hand anything unusual to a person. Built with approval steps, audit logs and firm limits on what they can touch.

    • Copilot Studio
    • LLM APIs
    • RAG
    • Python
    • Agent orchestration

    Good fit when the work needs reading and judgement, not just clicking. More

  • Process automation (RPA)

    Software robots for high-volume, rules-based work across the systems you already have: data entry, reconciliation, onboarding and reporting. No rip-and-replace.

    • UiPath
    • Power Automate Desktop
    • Automation Anywhere

    Good fit when the steps are fixed and the volume is high. More

  • Power Platform apps and workflows

    Internal apps, approval flows and dashboards on the Microsoft licences you already pay for. They replace the spreadsheet-and-email workarounds your team has outgrown.

    • Power Apps
    • Power Automate
    • Dataverse
    • SharePoint

    Good fit when your team runs on spreadsheets and email chains. More

  • Automation discovery audit

    A fixed-price review of how work moves through your team. You get a ranked list of what to automate, what it should save and what it will take, whether or not you build it with me.

    • Process mapping
    • ROI model
    • Roadmap

    Good fit when you know there’s waste but not where to start. More

Selected work

Automation running in the real world

Fintech, payments, e-commerce and European SMEs, from a national mobile wallet to ten-person firms.

Lead case studyAI agentsE-commerce

Agentic sourcing and outreach for an e-commerce wholesaler

A pipeline that finds products worth stocking, works out who supplies them and drafts the outreach. An agent runs it on a schedule, and the team approves each stage in Airtable before anything moves on.

Process

How a project runs

The same four stages whether it’s one process or twenty. You see working software early and a fixed estimate before any build starts.

  1. Map the process

    We walk through the work as it happens today and put a number on what the manual version costs.

    Usually 1 to 2 weeks
  2. Design the solution

    A short design covering the systems involved, the exceptions, security and where people approve. Then a fixed estimate.

    Usually about a week
  3. Build and test

    Built in short cycles with your team reviewing as we go, and tested on real data before go-live.

    Usually 2 to 8 weeks
  4. Run and improve

    Hypercare after launch, monitoring, documentation and a proper handover. Then improvements as your process changes.

    Ongoing, if you want it

Quick estimate

What is the manual version costing you?

Set the sliders for one process. It’s a rough figure, but it’s usually enough to tell whether automation deserves a proper look.

Be conservative. Exceptions and judgement calls usually stay with people.

About

I start with how the work really flows

I’m Muhammad Hashir Ali. I’ve built RPA for national-scale fintech at Systems Limited, automated back offices for SMEs across Switzerland and Germany with Auximo Tech, and researched agentic AI for my MSc at London South Bank University.

The principle is the same for a mobile wallet with millions of customers and a ten-person firm: automate the right process, build it properly, and make sure the people around it trust it.

  • Certified on Microsoft Power Platform (PL-500, PL-900), UiPath and Automation Anywhere
  • Production work with ServiceNow, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB, APIs and legacy web portals
  • Remote-first, working in UK and European business hours
