About Shahid

I solve customer problems through modern technology, ideating, creating, and scaling impactful software solutions. My approach involves building strong teams, collaborating, and adapting to change along the way.

I have worked in various positions across a range of companies, expanding my thinking process and connecting the dots whenever necessary. My experience spans software consultancy, e-commerce, fintech, cryptocurrency, and the insurance domain.

I developed the SaaS system for Global Insurance India from scratch, helping the company grow its business from zero to millions in revenue. I contributed to various parts of the project, ranging from database design to microservices architecture implementation and deployment strategy. I also worked briefly at Zebpay, one of India’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, where I helped revamp its architecture to support millions of users.

During my time in software consultancy, I helped customers build and grow their businesses from zero to millions in revenue. I can align, lead, and grow a world-class product team of 5 to 100 engineers. I am a natural leader and believe in the growth of people working with me. It gives me a sense of fulfilment when I mentor people and see them grow.

I love to teach. I nurtured the blog codeforgeek.com (now acquired), which helped millions of readers worldwide solve software development problems. I am also a published author of four books: Building Decentralized Blockchain Applications, Learning Azure Cosmos DB, Mastering RethinkDB, and Sails.js Essentials.

I have given talks at various prestigious events, such as DigitalOcean’s meetup and Microsoft’s meetup. I enjoy sharing my findings at conferences and with the audience.

I am a sole believer in the “Software as a thing” philosophy and believe that software should be developed with the same caution and seriousness as physical infrastructure like bridges and trains.
