Hi, I’m Shahriar 👋

I'm an AI/ML engineer and creative technologist with a passion for transforming bold ideas into real-world systems. Currently completing my Master’s in Data Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, I specialize in natural language processing, machine learning, and intelligent system design.

My work combines rigorous modeling with creative insight—from forecasting housing markets and detecting political misinformation to composing emotionally expressive music and designing AI-powered SaaS platforms.

Core project areas:

• Multimodal ML for interview outcome prediction (text + prosody)
• Fake news detection using BERT and Transformers
• Emotion-aware harmony generation (Wolfie)
• AI-powered accounting assistant (Lantern, SaaS)
• Housing and rent forecasting using time series modeling
