Not advice.
Working systems.
An unconventional technologist solving real problems with technology. The software, websites, and infrastructure small businesses actually run on, built so people and AI can both find you.
who you are working with
You are not hiring an agency. You are working with me.
I am Shafen Khan. I build the software, AI, and infrastructure that small businesses actually run on, then I stay in the room to keep it working. No account managers, no handoff to a junior, no disappearing after launch.
And when I am not building for clients, I am building Majiks.
what i am building now
Majiks. The creative company for the AI era.
Aaron Stransky and I are building it: eight platforms on one royalty rail, live in production. The same systems-first thinking I bring to client work, aimed at an entire industry.
the work
Real projects. Still in the room.
Every project here is something I built, shipped, and still support. Long-term relationships, not one-off projects.
Tax & Accounting
TaxSquare
Co-founded the technology side from day one. Built the brand, the client portal, and the internal automation. Not a vendor. A co-owner.
Healthcare
Fractional CTO, ongoing
Legacy OBGYN
Modern web presence, custom clinical tools, and IT infrastructure that meets healthcare compliance requirements. Still in the room.
Real Estate
Build + ongoing support
Kanam Realty Group
Custom website, internal dashboards, and property management tooling for a growing DFW real estate operation.
Performance Coaching
Build + launch content, ongoing hosting
Performance Evolution
A Greenville coach with 51 pros and D1 athletes in his track record. Built the full brand presence, seven-day content launch, and a research package tuned to the local market.
in their words
From the people I build with
“Shafen is the only person I trust with the technology side of my business. He built our entire platform from scratch and still manages it. When something breaks, he fixes it before I even notice.”
Mohsin Ali
Co-founder, TaxSquare
“We needed someone who could handle the technology without us having to think about it. Shafen stepped in, redesigned our web presence, built clinical tools, and now manages our entire IT setup. He just gets it done.”
Dr. Hina Khan
Legacy OBGYN, and my wife
“I have worked with a lot of developers. Shafen is the one I keep coming back to. He does not just write code. He understands the business problem and builds exactly what you need. Nothing more, nothing less.”

I chose a giraffe for the mark because giraffes see further than the herd. That is the job. Spot what is coming. Build for it before it arrives. Quiet strength. No need to be the loudest in the room when you can see the whole room.
