What People Say
From colleagues, collaborators, and developers I've worked with.
Give him a problem, and he will give you solutions. He is a rockstar in tech — accomplishments spanning research, startups, and community. Co-founded 3 startups during college, handled product engineering, and taught programming to thousands of beginners. All of it with a mastered skill of calmness.
Sameer is one of the smartest and most hardworking coders I know. He's a great leader who believes in perfection — takes his time, but when he delivers, it's always worth the wait. Extremely professional and makes sure he excels at everything he does.
He is the guy who always keeps motivating as well as inspiring to learn and always helpful and standing behind for support. Wish you, good luck.
Sameer is one of the best, most efficient and finest software engineers and problem solvers I've ever met. He knows his stuff extremely well and always helps others move forward. A fast learner and very adaptive.
Sameer has proved to be both a talented technician and a dedicated mentor. He demonstrated deep knowledge of his field and a natural ability to share expertise in a pleasant and comprehensible manner. I have learned from him more than I could ever expect.
From my very first call with Sameer Khan, his passion for promoting gender diversity at Devfest was clear. Encouraging more female developers to join was a priority. Leading the marketing for Devfest Bhopal '23 was an incredible honor. Working with such an amazing organizing team made it even more special.
Didn't know anything about monoliths, microservices, nextjs still got a chance because of @monkfromearth — he is the humblest guy on this planet.
These are the guys I look up as mentors when it comes to building communities and achieve excellency! @monkfromearth and team are transforming the tech culture in Bhopal.
You have really amazing way of explaining things. I wanted to stay longer and watch you teach people Python but damn it! Anyway you did a great job, looking forward to your next session! You are simply amazing.
Thanks for suggesting this amazing language, bhai. Now I am a Data Engineer all thanks to you.
Sameer tussi great ho! Jaise simplicity se tune sikhaya. Can't wait to attend flask session. Aj maine naye se Python sikha, aur bhi jyada apnane ki thana.
Sameer bhai superb session man, every one loved it. Your style is one hell of a unique thing. Pretty sure next session bhi housefull honewala hai.

What I'm Shipping
Agentic AI at Levo.so
Natural language → platform action
Software that takes intent, not commands. I'm building the agentic layer at Levo.so. Context-first, primitives-up. The model reasons. The platform executes. No prompt engineering required from the user.
monktensor
Deep learning framework, from first principles
A deep learning framework built from first principles in Python. v1 is a pure-Python scalar autograd engine that backpropagates through a graph of single values; v2 is a NumPy tensor engine. Ships with a live interactive course of 23 lessons across 6 units that teaches the concepts behind the engine, with a hands-on demo on nearly every lesson.
monkrag
RAG serving system, from first principles
A retrieval-augmented generation serving system built from first principles: embed a question, search a vector index for the nearest passages, augment the prompt, generate a grounded answer, and optionally rerank. The v2 headline is a reproducible latency and cost budget that tracks where the milliseconds and dollars go across the pipeline. Ships with a live interactive course.
monkway
LLM gateway and router, from first principles
An LLM gateway and router built from first principles: one API in front of every provider. v1 is a single-provider proxy with retry, backoff, and structured request logging; v2 climbs to multi-provider routing, a semantic cache, cross-provider fallback, and per-key budgets and rate limits. Ships with a live interactive course.
monkquant
Quantization toolkit, from first principles
A quantization toolkit built from first principles: store numbers in fewer bits with minimal accuracy loss, and measure exactly what the trade costs. One shared compression core (scalar, k-means, product quantization) with surface adapters; v1 compresses search vectors and plots recall against the compression ratio on real embeddings. Ships with a live interactive course of 16 lessons and 16 direct-manipulation demos.
Monk Lang
A compiled language, lexer to native binary
Statically-typed compiled language built in Go. Transpiles to C11 and compiles with Clang to native binaries, no VM. Static type system with inference, optional types, records, and guard/against/throw error handling. C-level performance on 14 of 21 benchmarks across 691 tests. REPL, CLI, VSCode extension.

Monk Lang
A compiled language, lexer to native binary
Statically-typed compiled language built in Go. Transpiles to C11 and compiles with Clang to native binaries, no VM or interpreter. Static type system with inference, optional types, records, and guard/against/throw error handling. C-level performance on 14 of 21 benchmarks across 691 tests. REPL, CLI, VSCode extension with LSP.
