About Me 👋

My name is Momin Bin Shahid, and I am a Full-Stack Engineer & AI Engineer 👨‍💻 with a deep enthusiasm for software engineering and cutting-edge technologies. I love building things that live on the web and now, things that think 🤖

With 8 years of shipping production software and a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, I've spent my career architecting web applications from scratch and recently expanded into the fascinating world of AI Agents and LLMs 🧠. Currently, I'm a Lead Engineer at Sastaticket.pk where I build AI-powered systems, work directly with stakeholders to understand their needs, and lead a team of awesome engineers.

My core expertise lies in JavaScript and its ecosystem. I've built production applications with React.js, Vue.js, and Angular on the frontend, spanning the full alphabet soup of stacks: MERN, MEVN, MEAN, and JAMstack. On the backend, I work extensively with Node.js, Python, and Django for web services and AI/ML workloads. For AI development, I leverage both LangChain and direct integrations with frontier model APIs like Google GenAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic Claude to build intelligent agents.

I've had the privilege of building across diverse domains including Internet Privacy & Security 🔐 (at the unicorn Securiti.ai), Metadata Platforms, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS), EdTech, Travel Tech ✈️, and now AI/Agentic Systems. Throughout my career, I've collaborated directly with clients and served users across the USA, Europe, Middle East, and South Asia, always with a focus on understanding their needs and delivering solutions that exceed expectations.

I've shipped code in both service-based consultancies (where you learn to adapt fast and interact with clients daily) and product-based companies (where you own features end-to-end). Both have taught me that great software is about understanding people, not just writing code 💡.

These days, I'm obsessed with building AI Agents that actually solve real business problems. For example, I built a QA agent that reviews hundreds of customer support calls daily with remarkable accuracy, accomplishing in a single day what would take a team of humans several days, and with a consistency humans simply can't match. There's something magical about teaching machines to understand context and take action ✨.

On the infrastructure side, I work with both On-Premise and Cloud ☁️ environments. I've built and maintained monolithic and microservices-based applications using Docker and Kubernetes, deployed across AWS, GCP, and Azure with CI/CD pipelines ensuring seamless deployment and management.

What drives me? The thrill of solving gnarly problems ⚡️, the satisfaction of mentoring engineers and watching them grow 🌱, and the never-ending rabbit hole of learning new technologies 📈. I'm that person who reads documentation for fun (well, sometimes... now I let AI summarize it for me). I believe in leaving codebases better than I found them 🏕️, call it the Boy Scout Rule of programming.

I'm endlessly curious and love exploring emerging technologies. I'm always enthusiastic about developing Web, Mobile, and Desktop applications using JavaScript, Python, and other exciting technologies in their ecosystems.

While most of my professional work has been closed-source 🔒, I'm increasingly contributing to and learning from the open-source community 🍀. The web taught me everything I know, and I want to give back.

Want to build something together? Have an interesting AI problem? Or just want to geek out about the latest in LLMs and web tech? Beyond code, I'm equally fascinated by philosophy 🧘 and esoteric discussions about the nature of reality, consciousness, and what it means to be alive in this strange universe. I'm always up for a good conversation, whether it's about software architecture or the mysteries of existence. Let's connect! 🤙
