Systems & AI Engineer

Dissecting technology beneath the surface

I'm Mohd Shahid. I build AI systems, construct robust Computer Vision pipelines, and design automated infrastructure layers. Driven by curiosity more than convention.

About Me

I work across AI, automation, computer vision, Linux, and infrastructure — building systems, debugging complexity, and understanding how things behave beneath the surface.

But my curiosity extends beyond machines.

I’m deeply interested in psychology, communication, language, and the invisible patterns that shape human behavior. I see technology and people as interconnected systems, both driven by structure, failure, adaptation, and intent.

Most of what I know was learned through experimentation: building, breaking, observing, and rebuilding. I value depth over trends, understanding over appearance, and questions over assumptions.

Featured Work

Dissecting models, compiling full-stack codebases, and automating administrative barriers.

Deep Learning & GenAI

Music Genre Classification

Developed a PyTorch deep learning pipeline to classify music genres. Extracted audio features (Mel-spectrograms, MFCCs) using Librosa and explored domain shift discrepancies by fine-tuning pretrained deep networks to handle noisy real-world composite signals, tracking experiments with Weights & Biases.

Modern Web App

Home Service v2

Built a full-stack, multi-role home services booking platform for the IIT Madras Modern Application Development 2 (MAD2) coursework. Gained hands-on experience implementing Celery for automated background tasks, Redis for caching, and SQLite for data management.

AI vs Human Challenge

Paradox Text Classification

Competed in the IIT Madras Paradox competition to distinguish between human-written and AI-generated text. Engineered robust feature pipelines, tuned model hyper-parameters, and achieved 78.28% validation accuracy, ranking in the Top 7 participants.

Fullstack Web

Flask Grocery Application II

Developed a secure web portal for buying and selling groceries. Integrated custom database designs, role-based authentication, and security configurations. Awarded an **'S' Grade** by IIT Madras.

Natural Language Processing

Financial Sentiment Analysis

Trained ComplementNB and MultinomialNB models on highly imbalanced financial comments. Optimized pipeline parameters to achieve a 70% test accuracy after thorough EDA.

Data Challenge

Customer Churn Prediction

Participated in the Coursera Data Science Challenge. Developed a classifier to predict customer churn in video streaming subscriber databases, achieving a 82.49% test accuracy and mapping user patterns to shape retention strategies.

Automation

Research Committee Management

Designed a database-driven system to automate administrative Research Advisory Committee (RAC) tasks at Maulana Azad National Urdu University. Successfully reduced manual logging delays.

Systems Core

rgb2hex Utility & Tools

Built modular libraries for fast color validations and coordinate tracking, utilizing Python OOP and comprehensive unit testing suites.

Interactive ML Playground
