About
I’m Shahin. I’m a software engineer in Bangalore. I currently work in research and development at a company in the electrical safety and reliability space. My team builds Industrial IoT (IIoT) products in that space, and I work on the software side. The Nuance Project is what I do with the rest of my time and attention.
