About me

Affan Shaikhsurab

I'm Affan Shaikhsurab, a software engineer, entrepreneur, writer, poet, and Amazon bestselling author. I founded Needfit Agency and OnCash.in, created educational tools like Simply Lang and Simplicity Bloc, and ship AI products across learning, productivity, and developer tooling. I've contributed to open source including Flutter (go_router) and AnkiDroid, and was featured on the Lead with AI podcast on education and understanding over memorization. Based in Belgaum, India; open to remote and Bangalore roles.

Affan builds products across AI, fullstack web/mobile, and developer education. He founded Needfit Agency and OnCash.in, led engineering on Chipix, and shipped foodosys for thousands of campus users.

He created Simply Lang and Simplicity Bloc for learning, wrote Build Your Own Programming Language (Amazon #84 Top 100 bestseller), and contributes to open source including Flutter and AnkiDroid. Outside shipping products, he writes poetry and explores new tools with a bias toward making technology more accessible.
