Software Engineer.

HI, I'M Shakeel
I'm a software engineer based in Mauritius. I write code professionally, study data on the side, and write about both here on ChatQuill when something feels worth sharing.
My writing tends to come from real situations — not tutorials. If I publish something, it's because I spent time being confused about it and want to spare someone else the same confusion.
WHAT I DO
Software Engineer at SharinPix
I work with various technologies including Ruby on Rails, Ember JS, Heroku and AWS. SharinPix taught me a lot about reliability, performance, and the long tail of edge cases that show up only in production.
BACKGROUND & CURRENT FOCUS
MSc Data Science — Distinction
Thesis on NLP-Based Detection of PTSD in Social Media Text
BSc Computer Science
Dissertation on Social Media Mining to Detect Users Suffering from Depression
