Usman Shaikh
AI Solutions Architect · Forward Deployed Engineer · Co-founder
I build software systems for a living — and study the world for the rest of it. This is a small map of both.
Builder by nature.
Explorer by choice.
I'm a builder at heart. For 15+ years I've designed and shipped enterprise software, cloud platforms, and AI-driven solutions across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia — supporting platforms that manage 10M+ endpoints in 150+ countries.
Through Product Guru, my London venture studio, I build and scale a portfolio of 12 technology companies — including Enrevia's intelligence platforms. As a forward deployed engineer, I sit with customers, find what's costing them money, and engineer it away.
Off the clock, I'm somewhere on a map: 65 countries so far, six languages in progress, and an ever-growing appreciation for culture, literature, and well-made things.
Things I've built & shipped
A venture studio, four intelligence products, and platforms at global scale. Code lives on GitHub ↗.
Product Guru
My London venture studio — building, acquiring, and scaling 12 technology companies across SaaS, AI, fintech, e-commerce, and education. Connected by shared infrastructure and a common drive to excel.
Enrevia Technologies
Production-grade intelligence systems for revenue teams and the infrastructure that runs them — Astra, Connect, Taska, and Augur across sales, marketing, computer, and infrastructure. Four shipped products, two consulting practices, one studio.
DeclareHQ
Smart compliance and regulatory declaration management — turning cumbersome reporting workflows into streamlined, automated, audit-ready processes for enterprise teams.
Fleqra
A flexible SaaS platform for modern, distributed teams — streamlining workflows and centralising collaboration without the friction of legacy software.
Excelcier
Intelligent finance automation that eliminates manual spreadsheet work, cuts errors, and gives finance teams hours back every week.
The Globe Logic
Strategic consulting and global market expansion — data-backed advisory, market research, and on-the-ground execution for ambitious businesses.
65 countries. Counting.
Every highlighted country is a stamp in the passport — and usually a story, a dish, or a few new words learned. Hover around.

How we can work together
I help companies reduce cost and ship smarter. Start with the arithmetic on the right — it's the conversation I have with every client.
AI & Solutions Consulting
Discovery to deployment: solution architecture, proof-of-concepts, and AI adoption that actually ships.
Cost-Reduction Engineering
Automation and AI to cut operational spend — measurable savings, not slideware.
Fractional CTO & Advisory
Senior technical leadership for startups and SMEs, from product strategy to team building.
Workshops & Speaking
AI adoption, forward-deployed engineering, and digital transformation — taught from the trenches.
Describe one painful workflow. I'll send three ways to cut its cost.
One email from you, three concrete ideas from me, within 48 hours. No call required, no strings.
