Hey! My name is Shamil [SHAH-mil]. Currently based in San Francisco, I am a Software Support Engineer at Lucid Motors, troubleshooting software bugs, managing vehicle connectivity, and ensuring smooth Over-The-Air (OTA) rollouts.
Born in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, I relocated to the US in 2021 on a full scholarship to major in Computer Science at American University in Washington D.C. Alongside my academic work, I competed as an NCAA Division I athlete on the wrestling team.
