About

Hey - I'm Asif.

I've been building software for 15+ years: frontend, backend, emails, infra, data, mobile. I've done all of it, but I'm still a backend engineer at heart.

Right now I build AI software at a venture firm: CRM, agents, internal tools, and a LOT of plumbing. I'm the engineer responsible for making the firm more efficient, so it's part maintaining a product that's over 5 years old and part building workflows people didn't even know they wanted.

I'm shipping random workflows daily and getting a little AI psychosis with my builds. Look, being a solo developer is really a trip.

This blog is where I post tips and notes for later reference.

Mostly, though, I want to find the people ACTUALLY using AI to do real work, not the performative version. That's the whole point of putting this out there.

I swear I'm working on reducing my default cynical nature and trying to be more of an optimist.

If any of that resonates, book 15 minutes with me to talk tech or philosophy or leadership.
