Tahir Nazir
Senior AI Engineer & Full-Stack Lead
Professional Summary
Senior AI Engineer and full-stack lead with 5+ years shipping AI-powered web products to production — RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, LLM integrations (Claude, OpenAI, Groq) and MCP tooling, on AWS with Next.js, Node.js, Python and Go. I build my own tools in the open: ContextZero, a VS Code extension for managing what every AI coding agent knows about your projects, and PresenceZero, a self-hosted lead finder — both MIT-licensed. At Nextpak Agile Solutions I grew from developer to senior engineer and team lead, delivering end to end for 20+ international clients and mentoring the engineers around me.
