# Muneeb Hussain · Agent-first engineer

> My agents write the code. I own what ships. I'm Muneeb, an agent-first engineer. I build AI products end to end: media pipelines processing ~18,000 hours of content a day, open-source research tools for agents, and production apps. My agents write most of the code; I design the system, review anything that touches security or money, and ship it. I also lead an agent-first team of 12, where projects that took 6 to 8 months now ship in 2 to 3. Alongside that I take on a few founders at a time: AI audits, hands-on builds, and fractional technical leadership.

This is the site of an agent-first engineer: what he has built (AI video dubbing, live captioning, real-time voice translation, commerce and agent tools), a dated ship log, and a few fixed-price engagements (AI production-readiness audits, build sprints, hardening AI-built apps, fractional technical leadership, technical due diligence).
