about
I build systems and make things.
I’m Nemath Ahmed, a co-founder of Shifu Health in San Francisco. My work sits at the intersection of software, healthcare, and the messy human work required to make technology genuinely useful.
the work
At Shifu Health, we are building an AI-assisted health experience supported by qualified human experts. Our aim is simple to state and difficult to execute: make good health support more accessible.
Much of the work begins away from a screen. It means talking to people, visiting the places where care and administration happen, watching how information moves, and then building alongside the people who will actually use the product.
Before Shifu, I worked across AI research, data systems, and earlier company iterations. I completed my graduate studies at Georgia Tech, where research, internships, building a startup, and boxing all competed for the same hours.
the practice
Outside the company, I write to clarify what I have learned. I make short films and visual studies at @bynemath, keep a growing photography archive, play music, and train when time allows.
I don’t think of these as separate versions of myself. Writing makes an idea precise. A camera forces attention. Music teaches rhythm and restraint. Building a company asks for all of those instincts at once.
This website is the common home for that work, including older pieces that show how my thinking has changed.
