Projects
A web-based 3D visualization tool built with React, Vite, and Google Maps Platform. It leverages Photorealistic 3D Tiles and WebGL Overlay View with Three.js to simulate urban scenarios.
An automated wildfire classifier, leveraging the YOLOv11 model as a proof-of-concept for early wildfire mitigation and prevention from camera sensors.
Agent-driven app that automates complex urban site selection. Users provide their business goals, and a multi-agentic AI system autonomously provides ranked recommendations based on public data.

About Me
Hi there, I'm Faiz, a Computer Science student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I have extensive experience in software development and most recently interned at AWS as a software engineer. Moving forward, I aim to leverage my technical skills for conservation efforts and human-centered wellbeing projects.
These days, I'm most excited about building responsive, accessible UIs at scale and making life easier for other developers. I've also been diving deep into agentic AI, looking at how it can transform everything from maps to healthcare.
When I'm not in front of the computer, I love going on outdoor adventures (the PNW especially), shooting cinematic photos and videos, spoil my cats with wayyy too many treats, do adrenaline-inducing activities, and collect postcards whenever I get the chance.
I'm open to any opportunities that come my way and shoot me an email if you ever want to get in touch!
