Hi, I'm

Muaaz
Shaikh <3

I design & build AI systems and
ship them to production.

AI engineer specializing in agentic workflows, LLM pipelines, and production ML systems. I turn research into shipped products.

What I Build

Agentic AI Systems

Multi-agent workflows using LangGraph, LangChain — with tool-calling, memory, planning, and state transitions.

AI Backend Engineering

Fast AI backends: async pipelines, WebSocket streams, GraphQL and REST APIs, real-time AI integrations.

Machine Learning Systems

End-to-end ML pipelines from data preparation to deployment, model monitoring, and retraining workflows.

Applied Research

Applied research in legal AI and healthcare — including fine-tuning BERT, LLaMA, and building custom evaluation workflows.

My Roadmap

From foundations to scale — a journey in building AI.

Phase #01 completed

Foundation Building

Built strong foundations in machine learning, deep learning, and backend engineering through coursework, certifications, and hands-on projects. Focused on understanding core ML concepts while actively building.

Phase #02 current

Systems & Research

Currently building production AI systems: agentic workflows, LLM pipelines, and applied research in legal AI and healthcare monitoring. Focused on shipping real products.

Phase #03 next

Scale & Impact

Aim to scale AI systems, publish research, and contribute to open-source ecosystems. Building toward global AI engineering or applied research opportunities.

Lorri AI

An agentic logistics control tower that autonomously consolidates freight shipments to reduce trips, cut costs, and lower emissions. Runs a full observe-reason-decide-act-learn loop with a domain-specific ML model, OR-Tools solver, policy guardrails, and 10-node LangGraph state graph. 70% trip reduction, 41% cost savings, full pipeline in under 1 second.
