something big cooking rn...

Hi, I'm Faiz.I build AI-powered software.

I build AI systems that work in the real world: computer vision pipelines, agentic workflows, and full-stack products with measurable impact.

Focus

AI engineering, product systems, and measurable impact.

Location

Toronto, Ontario. Canadian citizen.

Profile

AI engineer who can also ship the product.

Recruiter-friendly signal first: strong academics, shipped systems, and practical AI work that has been measured against real outcomes.

CS Honours Co-op student at Ontario Tech focused on AI engineering, building practical systems that move real metrics: 50% less distraction, sub-2.3s latency, and 80% less manual cleanup.

I work across ML and product engineering, from agentic pipelines and real-time computer vision to full-stack client products. Exploring AI engineering and software roles starting July 2026.

Currently Building

Stealth AI Startupkept behind the glass.

AI content intelligence for creators and online business owners.

A currently private platform that turns long-form signals into structured ideation, competitor research, and draftable creator workflows. Details stay intentionally quiet while it is being built.

Selected Work

Strong signals, fewer cards.

A focused set of AI and software projects with clear engineering depth, measurable outcomes, and production-minded tradeoffs.

Computer Vision + AI

FocusFlow

Real-time attention monitoring with measurable behavioral impact.

A calibrated computer vision pipeline using MediaPipe facial landmarks, FastAPI, React, and Electron. The system adapts to each user with a short baseline phase and triggers interventions only after sustained focus drift.

Agentic AI + Creator Tools

AI Short-Form Video Editor

An agentic editing pipeline from transcript to rendered short.

An end-to-end workflow for transcription, scene detection, edit decision generation, captioning, and ffmpeg rendering. A confidence gate filters weak AI cuts before final output.

Voice AI + Full-Stack

SoulSync

Low-latency conversational AI with multimodal service orchestration.

A real-time LLM platform integrating async Flask APIs, AWS Polly, S3, and a React frontend. Request pipelining and service orchestration brought response latency below conversational thresholds.

AI Agents + Automation

LLM Research Agent

Structured research automation with deterministic guardrails.

A multi-source discovery workflow that converts noisy social data into normalized records with JSON schemas, skip criteria, classification logic, and auditable outputs across repeated runs.
