About Shahab

I’m Shahab Khan — a cloud infrastructure enthusiast with roots in data centers, a passion for network automation, and a forward-looking drive shaped by AI and quantum computing. What began with full-stack development and hands-on infrastructure has grown into a mission to understand and improve how large-scale systems operate.

Currently, I’m expanding my skills in networking and automation as I pave the way toward AI/ML engineering. My long-term goal is to help shape the next generation of the cloud — where quantum computing enhances intelligence, security, and scale.

To me, the future of computing lives at the crossroads of physical systems, smart software, and quantum breakthroughs — and I’m building it one layer at a time.
