Hi , I 'm

Ishraq Khan

I’m a startup founder and tech enthusiast. Currently Building Kodezi, a autocorrect for programmers.

About me

Who am I?

I came to the US in 2011 from Bangladesh and started programming at eight by teaching myself how to code. In middle school, I created a peer-to-peer learning platform called TeachMeCode and later developed a prototype model trained on StackOverflow and GitHub repos on java code debugging. Eventually, this led to the creation of Kodezi and the raising of our first venture capital round of $800,000.   

I have an unwavering passion for innovating new ideas and a strong interest in machine learning and programming. Currently building Kodezi, a autocorrect for programmers aimed to maximize programming productivity by 10x.  

Prior to building Kodezi, I built software tools for fun and interned at Blackboard& Test IO, working on Software Engineering and Machine Learning. I took various college programming and business-level courses while in high school, and I even got the opportunity to shadow doctors and conduct machine-learning research in the medical field on disease probabilities.   

Today ,we have scaled Kodezi to 12 different employees and accumulated over 200,000 users in less than six months of launch. We are on a mission to accelerate the growth of Kodezi to maximize coding productivity across all sectors.

LIFE

My life.

Part of my life has been spent in Bangladesh, where I was for eight years, and in America, where I am now. I was born in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and moved to the US in 2011 with my parents. This journey and transition tie my life, values, and hobbies together.

During my free time, I love exploring new ideas and places, learning new things, binge-watching TV shows, traveling, and being a thrill seeker!

Quotes that bring value to me everyday:

"Chase excellence and success will follow" - The idea of always striving for the best, and when you aim beyond success, you don't hold a limit on that success.

"If you're doing what everyone else is doing, you're doing it wrong"- Following the path everyone else takes may prevent you from discovering new and innovative solutions.

"The biggest risk someone can take is to do nothing" - Put yourself at war; take that risk. Either you win the war and can share stories when you go back, or you lose the war and still share those stories—the journey matters, not the outcome.

Part of me has always liked the idea of taking the leap and taking risks, not for the reward but for the journey, and one of the main reasons I decided to build a startup. For the same reason, I like taking thrill-seeking adventures in real life. It started when someone said, "You can be a CEO, but not ride a rollercoaster" shortly after that, I decided to ride my first rollercoaster six months ago; before that, I could not get near one ever.

Since then, I have lived what I speak, taking risks and living a thrill seeker's dream. Whether it was hanging off the CN tower in Toronto, riding the world's fastest roller coaster in Abu Dhabi, or even building a startup by myself. I have taught myself to take risks and love the journey within.

Travels and THrills

Thrilling experiences keep me striving for taking risks, and traveling has helped me to appreciate the beauty of taking the plunge.

💼  Work Experience

Kodezi
Founder/CEO
• May 2019 - Present

Kodezi was founded by me in 2019 on the idea of allowing anyone to debug code instantly and not spend hours on debugging. Created in 2019 from prototype bert trained models.

Today, Kodezi is a startup Backed by RTP Global and Water tower Ventures, building generative AI solutions that auto-corrects your code in real-time. We’re on a mission to 10x productivity in programming!

TeachMeCode
Founder
• April 2016 - May 2019

TeachMeCode was a side-project developed by me in 6thgrade, a peer to peer learning platform where students where taught programming by others students. The idea being if a student can learn from another student it allows the student to be more attentive and engaged in learning.

Thousands of monthly visitors watched and submitted thousands of hours of programming content led by students. Later pivoted to Kodezi.

Digestive and Liver Center of Florida
Machine Learning Researcher
• Jul 2021 - Aug 2021

Shadowed doctors whilst actively working on correlation between family tree and DNA structure to probability of obtaining various types of liver disease by applying machine learning.

The liver easily gets affected due to intake of alcohol, pain killer tablets, food habits, and includes plenty of wired practices. By tracking various levels of the following, was able to successfully predict future use cases in patients with various ML models which I created.

Test IO
ML Intern
• Jun 2020 - Aug 2020

Worked with various data scientist on applying automated pen testing using machine learning models on code. Built custom machine learning models for predicting the risk of a data breach and automated security protocols in databases in breaches. Built custom machine learning models for detecting anomalies in large datasets and deployed machine learning models as microservices.

Word on the street

Jade helped us build a software so intuitive that it didn't need a walkthrough. He solved complex problems with brilliant design.
