Howdy 👋, I'm Shakel Ahamed!

Senior Software Engineer @ Softzino Technologies · Contracting with Apple Inc. as Independent Contractor

🎯 Focusing: Backend Architecture · Scalable Platforms · AI-Native Engineering

I automate whatever I can get away with automating — so I stay calm when the parts that actually matter break.

Engineering Focus

What I Build

Backend & Distributed Systems

Production-grade APIs, asynchronous processing, caching, queues, event-driven workflows, and data-intensive applications — designed around maintainability, scalability, and reliability under growing workloads.

AI-Enhanced Engineering

Exploring practical ways to adopt AI into software engineering — from LLM-powered applications and developer tooling to AI agents, MCP, and agentic workflows.

I'm not here to pretend I know everything about AI. I'm learning, experimenting, and figuring out where it genuinely makes engineering better.

Currently Learning & Exploring

Software Architecture & Design — Scalable System Design that can be shipped
AI & Agentic Systems — LLMs · AI Agents · MCP · RAG · Agentic Engineering
Languages & Frameworks — Learning Python in depth. Practicing Go for large-scale systems
