About
SourceShift is a one-engineer company. Amir Khakshour is the founder and principal engineer — the architect, the writer, and the one shipping code at 2 AM. The blog is where the work surfaces: bugs worth googling for, architecture choices that took a year to feel right, postmortems that didn't fit anywhere else.
The product the company ships is LibWit, an LLM-native research workspace for long-form technical work — chat over arXiv papers and books, AI-assisted chapter generation, translation with style preservation. Most posts here are notes from the work behind LibWit, plus the in-house infrastructure (prompt harness, context engine, agent-run substrate) that the product sits on.
Posts are sometimes co-bylined with editorial personas — Lukas Brandt, Maya Lindqvist, Sofia Ruiz, Theo Patel — flagged honestly in the authors collection. They are voice-of-the-house roles (research framing, incident response, platform craft, evaluation methodology) that let different angles of the same work read distinctly. The work is Amir's; the voices are tools.
- Lukas Brandt — Evaluation & measurement
- Maya Lindqvist — Incident & reliability
- Sofia Ruiz — Research, applied
- Theo Patel — Platform & orchestration
