Question 1

What is AI-enabled web development?

Accepted Answer

It's the new layer of full-stack work in 2026 - large language models, agents, and ML inference wired into both the product (chat, copilot, summarization, semantic search) and the engineering loop (Claude Code plugins, MCP servers, local-first coding agents). I've been shipping it for the last year or two across Next.js, Node.js, and the MERN stack. The high-leverage piece is almost always the typed integration surface, not the prompt.

Question 2

What is an MCP server?

Accepted Answer

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is just a process that exposes tools, data, and capabilities to an LLM client over a standardized protocol - kind of like a GraphQL endpoint, but for an agent. It lets a client like Claude Code read your database, call your APIs, or run domain-specific actions without bespoke integration code. I build custom MCP servers, including the open-source MERN MCP, that automate full-stack CRUD scaffolding and developer workflows.

Question 3

What is a Claude Code plugin?

Accepted Answer

A Claude Code plugin extends the Claude Code CLI with custom commands, hooks, MCP servers, sub-agents, or skills tailored to your codebase. Plugins can narrate edits, enforce conventions, run pre-commit checks, or wire in proprietary tools. I've authored claude-human-review, which describes each edit Claude is about to make in plain English so engineers can approve or undo with full context - diff hunts are the wrong review surface.

Question 4

What is a ReAct agent?

Accepted Answer

A ReAct (Reasoning + Acting) agent is an LLM that interleaves thoughts with concrete tool calls - read a file, run a search, write a patch - until a task is complete. It's the loop behind most modern coding agents. My open-source project nip is a local-first ReAct agent powered by Gemma on Ollama, with no cloud calls and no vendor lock-in.

Question 5

Is Irteza Asad Rizvi available for hire?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I'm open to senior full-stack roles, AI-focused contracts, and consulting engagements. Remote out of Toronto, specializing in shipping production AI features - LLM agents, Claude Code plugins, MCP servers - into Next.js, Node.js, Vue, and Nuxt apps. Fastest way to reach me: irtezaasad@gmail.com.

Question 6

What stack does Irteza work in?

Accepted Answer

Primary: TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, Python, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS, Linux. AI-specific: Claude SDK, Model Context Protocol, Ollama, ONNX Runtime. CI/CD: Jenkins and Docker. Seven-plus years of production web work and active AI tooling on top.
