Technical Philosophy

Cognitive Infrastructure Vision

Rashid believes the future of enterprise software lies in cognitive infrastructure—intelligent layers that make complex data systems as intuitive as human conversation. His MCP servers and AI agents represent the first generation of tools that truly understand both data structure and human intent.

Data as a Living System

Rather than treating databases as static repositories, Rashid designs data architectures that breathe, adapt, and respond intelligently to business needs. His systems don't just store information—they understand it, connect it, and make it actionable.

Human-Centered Technology

Despite working with complex backend systems, Rashid maintains a UX designer's mindset. Every API endpoint, every data model, every integration is designed with the end user in mind—whether that user is a developer, analyst, or AI agent.

Current Focus Areas

  • MCP Development: Expanding the Model Context Protocol ecosystem with specialized servers for property management (PropertyWare, ServiceFusion) and enterprise systems
  • Enterprise Data Solutions: Building custom data warehouses and analytics platforms for industries struggling with data fragmentation
  • AI Agent Architecture: Developing next-generation AI agents that can navigate complex enterprise data landscapes
  • Cognitive Infrastructure Research: Publishing insights on the convergence of AI, data, and human intelligence

Background & Evolution

  • Education: Tecnológico de Monterrey (BA), supplemented by Harvard CS courses and continuous self-learning
  • Design Foundation: Started with Adobe Photoshop (2011), evolved through Figma, accumulated 10,000+ hours in product design
  • Entrepreneurial Journey: Founded multiple ventures including Tudelega (remote work platform) and Affihub.com (community marketplace)
  • Technical Evolution: UX Design → Frontend (React, CSS) → Full-stack → Automations & Workflows → Backend specialist → Data architect → Cognitive infrastructure pioneer

Values & Vision

Guided by Christian principles and a commitment to meaningful impact, Rashid approaches technology as a tool for human empowerment. He believes that by making data truly accessible—not just technically, but cognitively—we can unlock unprecedented levels of human potential and organizational intelligence.

Core Belief: "The best technology disappears into the background, leaving only the human experience enhanced."

Connect & Collaborate

"I build frameworks, tools, and intelligent systems that bring clarity to complex digital operations. My work lives at the intersection of Cognitive Infrastructure, Computer Science, and AI—making enterprise data as natural to interact with as having a conversation."
