About

Sagar Shabbir

About

I started learning to code in 2020 through Harvard's CS50, from Pakistan, with no formal CS background. Since then, I've built products used by real people, attended fully funded workshops at Stanford, published a climate change anthology with proceeds going to a citizen-funded library, taught programming to 40+ students, and shipped apps to both major app stores.

Now I'm a CS & AI student at the University of Alberta and building Articulate, an AI-powered speech coach that gives people real, scored feedback on how they communicate. I care about using technology to solve problems that matter: making knowledge accessible, preparing people for high-stakes moments, and bridging the gap between potential and opportunity.

I'm from Azad Kashmir. I'm based in Toronto. I build for the world.
