Taahirah

I'm a backend and full-stack software engineer with 2+ years of professional experience building distributed systems, AI-powered tooling, and developer infrastructure. Most recently, I completed a software engineering internship at Series (NYC, remote), where I built distributed backend services and NLP-driven recommendation features that improved content discovery at scale. My core stack is Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, React, Next.js, and PostgreSQL — with a growing specialization in LLM integration, RAG pipelines, and autonomous AI systems. I've shipped production-grade projects including a Rust terminal IDE with LSP support, a native macOS browser in Swift, and a full-stack AI debugging platform powered by local LLMs via Ollama. I work async-first by default, communicate proactively, and thrive in small teams where I can own problems end-to-end. I'm currently pursuing my B.S. in Computer Science at Lewis University while actively seeking remote full-time, part-time, or contract roles in backend engineering, AI/ML tooling, or full-stack product development.
