Hire an AI developer
in Kosovo.
I'm Ergini - a senior AI developer based in Pristina. I ship production AI systems: OpenAI and Anthropic Claude integrations, RAG pipelines, AI agents, and AI workflow automation. Senior-only. I write the code, not coordinate a team.
What I build
Custom AI integration
Wire OpenAI, Claude, or open-source LLMs into your existing product. Streaming chat, tool-calling, structured outputs, function execution.
RAG and knowledge bases
Production retrieval-augmented generation over your docs, with hybrid retrieval, reranking, citation grounding, and evaluation.
AI agents
Goal-directed agents that call tools, reason over context, and route through human-in-the-loop checkpoints when needed.
AI workflow automation
Lead generation, outreach, document processing, candidate screening, customer support triage, back-office operations.
AI MVPs
End-to-end AI product builds - design, frontend, backend, model integration, evaluation, deployment.
AI audits and consulting
Code review of your AI features, cost and latency audits, eval setup, prompt and architecture review.
Stack

How engagements work
- 01
Discovery call (free, 30 min). You describe the outcome, I ask hard questions, we both leave with a clear picture of what's needed.
- 02
Written scope and quote (3 days). Fixed-scope where possible, milestones, deliverables, and a price you can sign.
- 03
Build (2-10 weeks). Weekly demos. You see the system running every Friday, not at the end.
- 04
Ship and handoff. Deployment, monitoring, docs. Optional retainer for ongoing changes at $100/hr.
Frequently asked questions
Where in Kosovo are you based?
Pristina (Prishtina). I work remotely with teams across Europe and North America, with strong overlap in both time zones.
What kind of AI work do you take on?
OpenAI and Anthropic Claude integration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agent development, AI workflow automation, custom chatbots, and end-to-end AI MVPs. Senior-only - I write the code, not coordinate a team.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Fixed-scope AI integrations typically range $3.5K-$45K, AI MVPs $5K-$60K. Hourly is $100/hr after launch. I publish ranges in the build MVP cost guide.
How fast can you start?
Most weeks I have one open slot. Discovery call is free and 30 minutes. After scoping, projects usually start within 1-2 weeks.
Do you work with non-Kosovo clients?
Yes - most of my client work is outside Kosovo, across Europe and North America. English-fluent, remote-native.
Why hire an AI developer from Kosovo specifically?
European time zone, English fluent, competitive rates, and a small but rapidly growing engineering scene with real production AI experience. I have shipped Caldra AI, OmniAPI, Xandidate, DreamCurtains AI, VC Automation, and contributed to Lindi AI and Zealos - production AI systems, not portfolio demos.
