Shaik Aftab

@shaikaftab

I am a results-driven full-stack developer specializing in backend, AI, and workflow automation.

What I'm looking for

I’m seeking impactful backend, AI, or software engineering roles where I can build scalable systems, automate workflows, and grow technically in a collaborative, product-focused team.

I am a results-driven full-stack developer with strong experience in backend engineering, AI, and workflow automation. I have built 150+ automations using Python, Zapier, and APIs and delivered projects ranging from sentiment analysis models to vulnerability scanners and health-monitoring dashboards.

I’ve contributed across startups and freelance engagements, including roles as an AI Trainer and multiple internships where I optimized model performance, integrated third-party APIs, and reduced system latency. I thrive on designing scalable backend systems, improving operational efficiency, and applying machine learning to solve real-world problems.
