About Jaffar
Jaffar sets product direction for Botcadence: which conversations an agent should own, where it must hand off to a person, and how a business can prove the result in its own numbers. His articles come from building and running the product, from the voice stack to the Restoration Answer Desk, not from vendor marketing.
On the engineering side he maintains the company's LiveKit telephony reference work (noise suppression, echo cancellation and SIP audio handling for voice agents) and publishes the measurements and trade-offs from that work on this blog.
He covers voice AI, AI answering services, lead qualification and scoring, pricing and buying guides, and comparisons with answering services and support platforms. Articles are reviewed against the live product before publication and carry an updated date when the facts change.
