Ahmad Shah Khattak
I help early-stage founders turn ambiguous product ideas into working software. I work across the full stack—scoping requirements, designing the interface, writing the backend, deploying the infrastructure, and maintaining it after launch.
What I Own End-to-End
Direct 0-to-1 ownership from problem scoping to store release and infrastructure maintenance.
Product & UX Design
Clarifying messy requirements, creating clickable wireframes, designing database schemas, and catching edge cases before writing code.
Full-Stack & Agentic Systems
Building web, mobile, and AI workflows. Shipped solo React Native apps to the App Store and Play Store backed by Next.js and PostgreSQL APIs, alongside multi-agent LangGraph systems with strict tool gating, token caching, and human-in-the-loop write safety.
Infrastructure & Deployments
Deploying and maintaining production systems. Running live database schema migrations without downtime, managing AWS EC2 and serverless setups, and processing background jobs with BullMQ.
Journey
A chronological timeline of background, engineering transitions, and production systems.
Explorer Phase
Premedical background. Early, self-directed exposure to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (9th–11th grade). Focus on conceptual understanding of browser-based interfaces; no formal curriculum or production work.
Engineering Pivot
Transitioned to BSc Computer System Engineering, UET Peshawar. Built formal foundations while independently learning React and completing Machine Learning Specialization. Entered industry via backend engineering internship (Django, FastAPI, Express); primarily self-directed learning outside coursework.
Maktab
Contributed as a full-stack engineer on a school management system (Maktab), owning the fee management logic and backend architecture used daily by non-technical administrative staff.
AI Receptionist Dashboard
Delivered an AI receptionist dashboard within a one-month sprint. Built core dashboard architecture and serverless backend; deployed to a live domain with active users and completed client handoff.
Clinical Workflow Assistant
Assumed full technical ownership after co-developer exit. Introduced WebSockets, migrated infrastructure from serverless to Amazon EC2, and rebuilt AI orchestration using LangGraph. Managed end-to-end mobile release cycle (TestFlight, Play Console), including iteration through platform rejections to successful production deployment.
Outpost (Jarvis)
Re-engineered a hardcoded multi-agent prototype into a production dynamic-dispatch architecture with human-in-the-loop write safety and platform-wide AI billing — shift from feature ownership to systems-level architectural ownership.
