Shakil Ahamed Riaz

I am an AI-focused software engineer and data scientist building full-stack applications that combine robust backends with LLM-driven intelligence. I specialize in Django/DRF backends, React frontends, and integrating generative AI for search, summarization, and conversational features.

My recent projects include GreenCart, an AI-powered carbon-aware marketplace that uses LangChain, Qwen2-7B, and Pinecone; AIpply, a recruitment platform with LLaMA 4–enabled mock interviews; and BrainHive, an AI-enhanced knowledge sharing app with RAG and FAISS. These projects demonstrate end-to-end design, secure auth, responsive UIs, and production-ready API work.

I have hands-on experience in ML and NLP research, including a project on protecting user privacy in mental-health NLP that combines LSTM, LLMs, and differential privacy with strong empirical results. I also train and mentor students in Python and data science, and I organize competitive programming events and campus tech activities.

I seek roles where I can apply full-stack engineering and generative AI expertise to build impactful, user-focused products while continuing research and mentorship. I bring strong problem-solving, collaborative leadership, and a track record of delivering AI-integrated software.
