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
What clients say
Shafen completely refreshed my website and modernized my pitch deck, two projects I had been putting off for far too long. His coaching and accountability kept me focused, on track and finally got everything across the finish line.
The difference was immediate. I finally have a brand that reflects the quality of my work and experience. If you have been putting off updating your online presence, I highly recommend working with Shafen. He does not just build websites. He helps you present your business the way it deserves to be seen.
And from the people closest to the work
None of these is an arms-length client, so each one says how I know the person.
“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
TaxSquare
My co-founder
“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.”

A collaborator, not a client

How every engagement starts
Tell me what is not working
Email, form, or a call. Your words, not a requirements doc.
Honest read within 48 hours
Can I help? What would it take? What would it cost?
Clear scope, fixed price
Written before any work begins. No surprises.
Build, ship, hand off
You see progress as it happens. You own everything.
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.
If something in your business is not holding, take thirty minutes and tell me where.
frequently asked questions
Questions I get asked
What kind of businesses do you work with?
Small businesses and practices across healthcare, tax, real estate, and professional services. Typically 5-50 employees. The common thread is operators who need technology that actually works, not another vendor who disappears after launch.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
You work directly with the person building your system. No project managers, no account executives, no junior developers learning on your project. I build it, I maintain it, I answer when you call. That continuity is what makes things work long-term.
Do you publish pricing?
No. Every engagement is different. A one-page website and a full client portal with AI integration are not the same project. But I give you a clear number in writing before any work begins, and that number does not change unless the scope does.
What happens on a vibe call?
Thirty minutes. You describe what is not working, I ask questions, and by the end you have an honest read on whether I can help, what it would take, and roughly what it would cost. No pitch deck. No discovery script. If I am not the right fit, I will tell you that too. We are mostly checking if the energy is there to keep going.
Can you work with my existing systems?
Yes. Most clients come to me with existing tools, vendors, and workflows. I evaluate what you have, keep what works, and replace what does not. I am not going to rip everything out and start from scratch unless that is genuinely the right call.
What happens after the project is done?
You own everything. The code, the infrastructure, the domain, the data. If you want me to stay and run it, we move to a monthly retainer. If you want to take it in-house, I make sure your team can. No vendor lock-in.
Where are you based?
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. I work with clients locally and remotely. Most communication happens over email, calls, and messaging. I am available for in-person meetings in the DFW area.

Tell me what is not working.
No pitch. No pressure. A straight conversation about what would actually move the needle. I reply to every message within 48 hours.
