Hi, There!

I'm Shahir Ahmed

I build full-stack products, mostly the parts you never think about. Currently at Sarva, and a maintainer on Mermaid.js.

About me

I'm a Computer Science and Mathematics graduate from Dickinson College. At Sarva I work on vector search, a voice pipeline for vendor inventory, and payments. Before that I spent a year on FarmData2, an NSF-funded platform that working farms use every day, and I still contribute to Mermaid.js.

Outside of code I help new developers, play soccer, and follow Real Madrid.
