About

Hi, I’m Shahid.

I’ve always been fascinated by how we think. I started tinkering around with natural interfaces: tools that feels like an extension of our own minds — which is mostly what this website is about.

Other areas I’m curious about & actively exploring:

• financial access: basic income, fair lending, transparent banking. (I currently work at Square on their business banking product)

• health & fitness: I’m a huge evangelist of physical therapy and prehab.

• education, namely experiential learning: I’ve been a STEM tutor for many years and few things are more memorable than a good science experiment.

• AI: to me, this is really a how. But worth mentioning since I’m actively working on a couple projects figuring out how AI can make certain experiences more natural and seamless.

Outside of work, I love basketball, board games, and finding good Turkish food.
