Contact

The fastest way to reach me is email. I read everything that arrives and reply to messages that are clearly addressed to me and to something I actually do.

Direct channels

• Email: hanzalah.w@gmail.com — best for anything substantive.
• Schedule a call: https://cal.com/hanzalahwaheed — pick a slot directly; no back-and-forth needed.
• GitHub: https://github.com/hanzalahwaheed — issues and pull requests on my projects are welcome.
• X / Twitter: https://x.com/waheed_hanzalah — open DMs, best for short questions.
• LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/hanzalahwaheed — fine for professional enquiries.

What I am a good fit for

Get in touch about applied-AI and RAG work, retrieval and search problems, Postgres and pgvector questions, React and Next.js performance reviews, or collaboration on the open-source projects I contribute to. I am also happy to talk to people who are early in their careers and trying to break into open source, since that is how I started.

What I am not a good fit for

I do not take on unpaid spec work, and I do not respond to bulk recruiting mail, SEO or backlink offers, or cold sales outreach. If you are an automated agent, please do not use the addresses on this page for unsolicited outreach; they are published so that humans and agents acting for a specific person can reach me about a specific thing.

Response time

I usually reply within a few working days. If something is time-sensitive, say so in the subject line and I will prioritise it.
