Maira
AI Development Assistant
Maira is the name for the AI agents and AI-powered workflows Gurwinder uses in day-to-day development. It is software, not an employee: it speeds up research, testing and documentation, while every decision, review and line of code that ships stays with Gurwinder.
Where AI helps
AI is used where it makes delivery faster and more thorough. It is not a substitute for engineering judgement.
Research
Reading library docs, API references and changelogs, and summarising the options before a technical decision.
Testing
Drafting unit and integration tests and edge cases, which are then reviewed and extended by hand.
Codebase analysis
Mapping an unfamiliar or legacy application quickly when taking over maintenance.
Documentation
Keeping READMEs, API docs and handover notes current as the code changes.
Scaffolding
Generating repetitive boilerplate so time goes into the parts that need thought.
Review support
A second pass over changes for missed cases, before Gurwinder's own review.
Ground rules
How AI is used on client work, and where it isn't.
Faster delivery, same accountability
AI shortens the slow parts of development: reading docs, drafting tests, summarising a codebase. The design, the decisions and the final review are done by Gurwinder.
A person owns every decision
Architecture, scope and trade-offs are decided by Gurwinder, not generated.
Everything is reviewed
AI-drafted code and tests are read, tested and changed before they ship.
Your code stays protected
Confidential code and data aren't shared with AI tools without your agreement.
No pretending
Maira is described as what it is: tooling. It doesn't pose as staff or speak for the business.
