Mohammad Shaker.
Sr. Director of Engineering at Writer. Building things at the intersection of language, intelligence, and design.
I specialize in productizing AI and machine learning in consumer-facing companies. Currently, I serve as Sr. Director of Engineering at Writer — the enterprise AI platform for agentic work.
Previously, I was CTO at SpatialX AI where I led development of an AI platform for cancer detection and treatment, and Head of Engineering at Noon — a social learning platform with 12M+ users. Before that, I founded Alphazed, an AI-powered gamified EdTech product that reached over 500,000 users.
My research spans procedural content generation, player modeling, NLP, and physics-based game AI — with multiple papers nominated for best paper awards at international conferences. I started in academia where I published 10 papers as an undergrad.
Career & Work.
One timeline split into Work, Research, and Tinkering.
Lead BUILD layer at Writer: agent architecture for full-code and n8n pipeline AI agents across 2 teams, shipped to Goldman Sachs, Cigna, and Vanguard.
