Hello, I'm Shahriar.
I am a final-year Computing Science student specializing in Software Practice with a strong research interest in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), Computational Semantics, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. As a Teaching Assistant in the Computing Science Department at the University of Alberta, I mentor teams on requirements, architecture, Agile practices, and rigorous evaluation, which informs my approach to empirical research and reproducible ML. My recent work spans data analytics, cloud computing, and DevOps/MLOps for end-to-end model development and deployment. I actively participate in hackathons and have earned multiple hackathon wins, collaborating under tight timelines to prototype language-centric systems and applied AI solutions. I am eager to contribute to research that advances language understanding, responsible LLMs, and real-world NLP applications.
