About

Builder Profile

I'm Ahmad Ferdaws Shafiq, a Computer Science student at North American University and AI Engineer based in Houston, Texas. My interest in technology started early and never stopped growing. Over time that curiosity became a discipline: building systems that are technically rigorous, production-ready, and actually useful.

Today I work across agentic AI, machine learning, and automation infrastructure, and I'm pursuing graduate research to push further into what's possible with AI systems.

Anna - Agentic Placement Automation System

A production AI agent built to automate contractor placement operations at scale. Processing over 1,000 documents per week, Anna autonomously stages candidates through the placement pipeline - work that previously required continuous manual effort from the recruiting team. The system reduced manual workload by approximately 90%, freeing staff to focus on higher-value decisions.

MOVE - Motor Output vs. Visualized Execution

An end-to-end 64-channel motor-imagery EEG pipeline built for 4-class intention decoding across 86 subjects and 7,000+ trials. Applied subject-independent GroupKFold validation with EEGNet and Riemannian ML, achieving 42-45% balanced accuracy against a 25% chance baseline. Deployed as a real-time inference API with confidence scoring, artifact detection, and ABSTAIN safety gating for interpretable BCI output.
