I am Shakeeb Khan
Full-Stack & AI Engineer with 15+ years of experience building scalable systems.
I help businesses convert their ideas into reality—from the first architecture decision to production. Specializing in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem, I combine rock-solid backend engineering with cutting-edge LLM and LangChain integration. From secure, high-traffic APIs to autonomous conversational AI agents, I build the complete, production-ready package.
Tech stack matrix
Four layers, one engineer. Everything below has carried real production load or real users. AWS Solutions Architect Associate, plus an AI engineering track covering LLMs, RAG, QLoRA and agents.
AI / ML Engineering
Retrieval pipelines, agent orchestration and inference cost control.
Backend & Databases
Service boundaries, ETL pipelines, query plans and safe migrations.
Frontend & UI
Product surfaces, design systems and end-to-end test coverage.
Cloud & DevOps
Reproducible environments, delivery pipelines and load-tested resilience.
Where I have done this
Senior and lead engineering roles across security, proptech and consulting. Happy to talk through the specifics on a call.
I have sat on the founder's side of the table
I currently co-found mulberrybytes with Sana Naz. Before the scale-up roles I built a consultancy from nothing to six regular clients and ten full-time engineers, and went through the Founder Institute as an early-stage founder. So when a startup asks whether to build it properly or build it now, I answer with runway in mind, not just architecture.
mulberrybytes
Co-founded with Sana Naz. Building software with the same architecture-first approach I bring to consulting engagements.
mulberrybytes.comTheVisionSpark
Founded a software consultancy and grew it to six regular clients and ten full-time engineers. Built the engineering processes, the delivery frameworks on Laravel, MEAN and native mobile, and a tech radar that set technical direction. Ran project plans against client budgets and deadlines, and kept engineers through upskilling, meetups and hackathons.
Founder Institute
A structured program for early-stage entrepreneurs: business model foundations, mentor collaboration, funding strategy and market validation.
How early-stage teams use me
Cut the scope to what proves the thesis, then ship it on a stack a small team can maintain.
Technical direction, hiring and code review for founders without an engineering lead yet.
An honest read on a codebase, its debt and what it will cost to scale, before you invest or acquire.
Guilds, review culture, CI/CD and the mentoring loop that keeps senior engineers from leaving.
Technical writing & postmortems
Batched Postgres backfills that survive a mid-deploy restart
The slow part was never the SQL. Batching, keyset pagination, and one honest look at what the transaction was holding while it ran.
Postmortem: what k6 found that staging never did
A service that looked healthy in staging fell over well below its expected ceiling. The cause was a connection pool, not the code.
Got an idea? Let’s make it real.
