I'm an AI Engineer focused on LLM systems, voice agents, RAG pipelines, and production Full Stack Systems at Kodensoft
Hi! I am Dawood Shahzad, an AI and backend engineer based in Karachi, Pakistan. My strongest work sits where applied AI meets reliable backend systems: LLM apps, RAG assistants, voice agents, automation workflows, and real-time APIs.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence and 2+ years of hands-on experience building startup products with Python, FastAPI, OpenAI, LangChain, RAG, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and cloud deployment workflows. I care about systems that are fast, accurate, maintainable, and practical in production.
Recently I have worked across AI-enabled web, mobile, backend, and automation products at Kodensoft, Nosh Solutions, RealBotAI, and Authentik. I also build frontend and mobile experiments when the product needs a complete interface, but backend and AI/ML are my center of gravity.
When I am not working, I like to spend time with anime, AI novels, and scientific documentaries.

Voice AI Backend
Built a Pipecat-based phone-ordering agent with FastAPI, Twilio, Redis, and OpenAI. The system reduced multi-query delay from 5-10 seconds to about 300 ms using in-memory hash tables, Redis-backed cart queries, fuzzy search, phonetic matching, Levenshtein distance, and transcription-aware auto-correction while cutting projected platform cost by about 80%.

RAG Chatbot Platform
Built an AI chatbot platform for automated lead qualification, appointment scheduling, and 24/7 client support. The system used LangChain and RAG patterns to reduce response time by 75% while integrating with CRM workflows for agency operations.
Clinical RAG Assistant
Created a GPT-4 and FAISS based assistant for dental professionals, handling more than 500 queries per day with 95% accuracy. Novik supports evidence-aware recommendations across preoperative precautions, anesthetics, antibiotics, analgesics, postoperative care, and patient-specific context.
