Hi, I'm Kiran Babu Makam

I design and build
AI products for
businesses.

AI Solutions · Design + Engineering

You bring the idea. I take it through research, design, architecture and production code until real people are using it. 14+ years shipping software for banks, insurers and healthcare — now building AI platforms end to end.

· What I Do

AI solutions, designed and built end to end

Most AI projects stall in the gap between the idea and the shipped product — strategy decks that nobody can build, or prototypes nobody can use. I work across that whole gap: research, design, architecture and production code.

Most requested

AI Product — Designed and Built End to End

From a rough idea to software your customers actually use — research, interface design, architecture and production code, delivered by one person instead of a handoff chain.

  • Problem framing and feasibility read — what AI can and can't do here
  • User research, journeys and a clickable prototype
  • Production build: React/TypeScript front end, Python/FastAPI or Node services
Most requested

AI Agents & Copilots for Real Workflows

Multi-agent systems and internal copilots that carry out actual work — reading, deciding, drafting and routing — instead of a chatbot that only answers questions.

  • Workflow mapping — which steps are worth automating, and which are not
  • Agent design: roles, tools, guardrails and human checkpoints
  • Working implementation with evaluation and failure handling

RAG & Knowledge Systems Grounded in Your Data

Answers drawn from your own documents, policies and records — with citations, access control and honest 'I don't know' behaviour rather than confident invention.

  • Content audit and retrieval strategy for your material
  • Ingestion pipeline, chunking and retrieval tuned on your real questions
  • Chat or search interface with citations back to the source

AI Strategy, Audits & Team Enablement

An honest assessment of where AI pays off in your business, what it will cost, and what your team needs in order to run it — before anyone writes code.

  • Opportunity map ranked by value, effort and risk
  • Feasibility and build-vs-buy assessment for the top candidates
  • Reference architecture and delivery roadmap

Product Design — 0 to 1 and Beyond

Turning a vague product idea into something specific enough to build: the flows, the screens, the design system, and the decisions behind them.

  • Product definition, scope and user flows
  • High-fidelity Figma prototypes ready for stakeholder review
  • Design system and reusable component library

UX Design for Complex, Data-Heavy Products

Making dense enterprise workflows understandable — dashboards, admin tools and regulated processes that people can actually operate without training.

  • User research, interviews and journey mapping
  • Information architecture and workflow redesign
  • Interface design with WCAG accessibility built in

Not sure which of these fits your problem? Describe it to me — I'll tell you honestly what would work.

· Try It Yourself

Working software, not slideware

Anyone can describe what they'd build. These are five working tools I built and shipped on this site — free, no signup, and most run entirely in your browser. Open any of them and use it right now.

AI Feasibility Advisor

Describe a business problem and get an honest assessment of whether AI is the right tool, which approach fits, roughly what it would take, and what would make it hard — including when the answer is 'don't use AI'.

Solution architecture · honest scoping

Open the tool

PDF Toolkit

Combine this month's invoices into one file, pull a few pages out of a long report, delete the blank page the scanner added, or rotate the sideways one. Drag pages into the order you want.

Document processing · file manipulation

Open the tool

GST Invoice Generator

Pick the two states and the tax works itself out — CGST and SGST within your state, IGST across state lines. Mixed rates get their own bands, the total rounds to the rupee, and the amount is written out in lakh and crore. Your details are remembered so you never retype them.

Domain rules · financial correctness

Open the tool

QR Code Generator

A UPI code for the counter so nobody types your number, a Wi-Fi code guests can scan instead of reading a password off the wall, or a flyer code that opens WhatsApp with the enquiry already written. Print the card when you're done.

Encoding standards · print-ready output

Open the tool

Image Compressor

The upload form says 2 MB and your phone shoots 6. A customer can't open the HEIC file your iPhone made. Drop the photos in, pick what they're for, and download them ready to send.

Media pipelines · client-side encoding

Open the tool

Document Compare

Someone returns a contract saying 'just a few small edits'. Drop both versions in and get a clean redline showing every word added and removed, ready to save or print.

Document processing · diff engines

Open the tool

Data Cleaner

The same customer three times, phone numbers in four formats, names shouting in capitals, trailing spaces that break your mail merge. It reports what's wrong before touching anything, then highlights every cell it changed.

Data quality · safe transformations

Open the tool

Merge Spreadsheets

Stack monthly reports from different branches into one list, or match a customer file against an orders file on a shared column. Column names that don't line up are matched for you.

Data transformation · join logic

Open the tool

Markdown Studio

Turn a Word document into clean Markdown, edit it with live preview, and export to PDF, HTML or Word. Also converts pasted rich text automatically.

Document pipelines · client-side processing

Open the tool

Brand Clearance Lab

Research whether a name is usable — company conflicts, trademarks, domains, social handles and app stores — with a 100-point score and a clear verdict.

Agentic research · structured output

Open the tool

See all free tools — built for the boring jobs that eat an afternoon.

· Featured Work

Ideas taken all the way to working products

Seventeen products taken from a business problem to software people use every day — AI platforms, multi-agent systems and enterprise applications across banking, insurance and healthcare. Each one covers the problem, the architecture, the hardest constraint, and the decisions behind it.

· How I Work

From first conversation to working software

No long discovery phases that produce a deck and nothing else. Every engagement moves through the same five steps, with a real decision point at each one — so you always know what you're getting and can stop if it isn't working.

01

Discovery call

A straight conversation about the problem you're trying to solve — what's broken, what you've tried, what success would look like. You'll get an honest read on whether AI is the right tool, and I'll tell you if it isn't. No charge, no pitch deck.

Problem framingFeasibility readRough effort estimateHonest go / no-go
01
02

Scoped proposal

A written proposal covering what gets built, in what order, what I need from your side, and what it costs. Scoped in phases so you can stop or extend at each milestone instead of committing to everything up front.

Defined scopePhased milestonesClear deliverablesFixed pricing
02
03

Prototype or pilot

Before the full build, something real: a working prototype or a single workflow proven end to end. This is where assumptions get tested cheaply — and where you find out whether the idea holds up before the budget is committed.

Working prototypeOne workflow provenReal-data testingGo / adjust decision

04

Build & validate

Production build with you seeing progress throughout — not a black box that surfaces in three months. Design, engineering and AI integration happen together, with accuracy and edge cases evaluated against your real data rather than demo cases.

Production buildAccuracy evaluationEdge-case handlingRegular check-ins
04
05

Handover & enablement

Deployment plus everything your team needs to own it: documentation, walkthroughs, and the reasoning behind key decisions. The goal is that you're not dependent on me afterwards — though I'm around if you want ongoing support.

What Leaders Say About Me

Kiran brings rare depth to enterprise UX — he doesn't just design screens, he architects experiences that handle real-world complexity. His ability to navigate compliance requirements, stakeholder politics, and engineering constraints while still shipping beautiful, accessible interfaces is exceptional.

Sarah Mitchell

Head of Digital Banking UX

HSBC

Working with Kiran on the GEICO platform was a masterclass in design-engineering collaboration. He built our Vue.js component library while simultaneously leading UX strategy — halving our sprint cycles. His AI-augmented workflow is genuinely 3-4x faster than traditional approaches.

Marcus Chen

VP Product Engineering

Applied Information Sciences

Kiran's ESG dashboard work fundamentally changed how our investment teams make decisions. He took what was 12 disconnected tools and turned it into one elegant platform that our most skeptical analysts adopted within weeks. That kind of user trust is hard-won.
