Aslam Shah

Senior full-stack engineer Hamburg est. 2011

I design and build interfaces — and the systems underneath them.

Ten years of full-stack engineering, nine of them in Hamburg on a fraud-detection platform, six open-source libraries with 1,655 stars between them, and lately local LLMs running in production where the data can't leave the building. Everything below, I made.

Projects

Open-source libraries and personal products. The libraries are still being forked years after the last commit; the products are still being built.

02Who

A frontend developer in love with the design

That has been my GitHub bio for years, and it is still the most accurate description of how I work. I write the backend and run the platform too — the reason I do is so the interface on top of them can be good. Nine years of that at RiskIdent in Hamburg, in fraud detection, where a wrong pixel costs someone real money.
