I’m Hatim Shaherawala, an AI graduate and practical software builder with experience across applied AI, full-stack development, teaching, and early-stage R&D. I have worked on real-world AI systems, MVPs, automation tools, and hardware-adjacent projects, with a focus on building useful, reliable products. I’m particularly interested in practical, privacy-first AI systems that can operate on-device. I enjoy turning ideas into usable software and collaborating with teams to ship meaningful solutions, prioritizing privacy, reliability, and on-device computation.
