Hashir Shah - Software Engineer

Welcome to my corner of the web! I’m Hashir Shah, a passionate software engineer on a mission to make technology accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Currently pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Illinois Institute of Technology, I thrive on the excitement of solving complex problems and bringing innovative ideas to life.

With experience in both backend and frontend development, I seamlessly blend the power of AI and server-side technologies with engaging user interfaces. My journey in tech has taken me from guiding students as a Teaching Assistant to developing dynamic projects like Learners Loft and Pinboard. Each step has reinforced my belief in the transformative potential of technology.

When I’m not coding, you might find me exploring the vibrant city of Chicago, looking for new places to eat, or in my dorm room reading books about topics such as productivity and entrepreneurship, and playing video games. You may also catch me down at my local hobby stores looking for the latest Pokemon Card expansions that just hit the market.
