Adil Shamim — AI/ML Engineer and Founder

I’m Adil Shamim, an AI/ML engineer and founder from Bangladesh. I build AI systems and products, and I write about what I learn along the way.

I like understanding problems before building solutions. I question assumptions, work from first principles, and try to build something useful. I also enjoy selling my own products—talking with customers, explaining what I’ve built, and learning what needs to change.

I’m building ReWoo and leading product development as CTO at FinAI8. I also work as a Student Researcher at ELITE Research Lab.

Previously, I built Toolly, an AI tools discovery platform that is now open source.

Outside work, I enjoy reading, writing, and storytelling. I write about AI engineering, what I’m learning, and ideas that influence how I think and build. My Story shares more about how I got here.
