From Lahore, I build software that answers the phone, finds the right product and runs on its own

Muhammad Shakaib Arsalan

An AI engineer who ships the whole product.

I build voice agents that answer real phone calls, search that understands tens of millions of products, and the multi-tenant SaaS around them: backend, frontend, billing and deployment.

  1. Sep 2026 – PresentLahore● now

    Full-Stack & Cloud Engineer

    Xaibridge

    Leading a unified multi-tenant admin platform, and moving the company’s email onto Amazon SES.

    • Next.js
    • TypeScript
    • Amazon SES
    • Redis
    • MCP
    What I didShow less
    • Led the build of one multi-tenant admin platform (Next.js 14, TypeScript, MySQL, Redis) that replaced separate per-brand admin portals: per-page, per-tenant read/write permissions, 5 staff roles, 2FA and an audit trail.
    • Wrote about 92% of its commits since joining, and grew its automated test suite from zero to about 3,000 tests (Vitest, Playwright, GitHub Actions).
    • Moved about 95% of the company’s email volume (about 450k emails a month) from SendGrid to Amazon SES, and built an in-house campaign tool on top: visual editor, scheduling, rate-limited sending with pause and resume, automatic pause on bounce spikes, suppression lists, and live delivery and click stats. One campaign reached 96.5% of a 32,000-person list.
    • Traced a runaway cloud-database bill to a self-refreshing admin page and wasteful real-time listeners. A shared Redis cache and server-side queries cut reads from up to 48k to under 1k per 5 minutes; the projected monthly cost is about 90% lower.
    • Hardened authentication and API security (2FA, session handling, webhook signature checks, access control), and added AI features with Groq (reading screenshots, translation) plus MCP servers that let AI assistants work with internal data.
    • Also: a multilingual help centre (7 languages, 78 articles), and the Windows port of the open-source desktop app Ferry (Tauri/Rust).

06 — About

About me

I’m Shakaib, a software engineer in Lahore. The work I like most is what comes after the AI demo: making a voice agent fast enough for a real phone call, cleaning data so search has something good to work with, and wrapping a model in a product people can sign up for and rely on.

At FourDevs.ai I shipped nine AI products end to end, including Sandstorms AI, which I built alone. Attendify began as my final-year project at UMT, and I still build and run it on my own. Today I’m a Full-Stack & Cloud Engineer at Xaibridge, and I take on freelance projects.
