Shahmir Khan - Founder & Developer

About

Published on August 22, 2025 by Shahmir Khan

I'm a developer who accidentally keeps starting companies. Five ventures launched, mostly because I got annoyed with existing solutions and decided to build better ones myself.

Client Revenue Impact

My technical background spans JavaScript, PHP, Python, and modern frameworks. I've worked with companies across Pakistan, UAE, UK, and USA - from building Pakistan's first biometric e-voting system (because regular voting seemed hackable) to scaling real estate platforms handling 15,000+ property listings (because their previous system kept crashing).

Currently building WPCursor, a WordPress development tool that somehow got 40+ agencies to sign up in the first 5 hours. Apparently other developers hate repetitive WordPress tasks as much as I do.

Companies

WPCursor CURRENT

A comprehensive WordPress development tool that helps developers build themes and plugins faster, featuring an AI-first visual builder. Built out of pure frustration with manual WordPress workflows that were taking hours every day.

What it does: Helps developers build themes and plugins faster with an AI-first visual builder, while also automating plugin updates, theme modifications, content migrations, and deployment workflows. Basically everything that used to require manual clicking, copying, and pasting across multiple WordPress installations.

HatchIt was to build sustainable & automated products for poultry farming in Pakistan.

Even though our startup failed eventually, but we worked on a real problem for the betterment of our people.

I focus on building stuff that actually works and doesn't break when someone looks at it wrong. Experience spans from backend systems (the fun part) to full-stack applications (the necessary part), with particular expertise in WordPress ecosystem and API development (the profitable part).

Interval Story

The hotel project that started it all

At 16, I was broke in Swat with no plan. My friend and I convinced a hotel owner to pay us upfront for a guest management system we hadn't built yet. I spent three days straight coding a custom OCR that could read Pakistani ID cards - something no existing hotel software could do. Check-in time went from 15 minutes to under 1 minute. The best part? I made the interface so simple that literally anyone could use it, because I knew the hotel staff weren't going to read a manual.

That project taught me that users don't care about your clever code - they just want their problems solved. I've been obsessively building solutions ever since, usually at 3 AM with too much coffee.
