Zaidi,
software engineer.

I design and ship AI-powered products — from full-stack job tools built with Claude Code to research-intelligence pipelines crawling universities across AU/NZ. Final-semester at AUT, seeking a 400-hour software engineering internship to finish strong.

Now Final sem. @ AUT, graduating Jun 2026.

Focus LLM tooling, data pipelines, full-stack.

Stack Python · TypeScript · Kotlin · Claude API.

Status Open to internships (NZ / Remote).

Selected work

Two projects I've shipped recently. Both live, both built end-to-end.

FP—01

Full-stack Web App / 2026 / Solo

JobCopilot
v2.

An AI job-application tracker with dashboard analytics, CV upload, and streaming cover-letter generation via the Anthropic Claude API. I designed the UI mockup first, then used Claude Code to build the entire app from the reference — shipped to production on Render.

Research
Intelligence
crawler.

AI-driven web crawler that scrapes research announcements across universities in AU/NZ and ScienceDaily, extracts themes via NLP (topic clustering, keyword time-series, z-score anomaly alerts), and surfaces emerging research trends in a Streamlit dashboard.

Everything else

The full backlog — side projects, team projects, tools.

01 / 04 2025

Dealseeker.

Scrum Master

Android price-comparison app built with a Scrum team. I led sprint planning, daily stand-ups and code reviews while also shipping backend and frontend features through structured debug cycles.

Airbnb Reply.

Solo tool

A personal tool built for Airbnb operators: drafts guest replies with AI, lets the host pick tone, and keeps a human in the loop before sending. Prompt engineering + Streamlit UI.

JobCopilot v1.

Predecessor

The first version that taught me what v2 needed to become. Simpler tracker, file-based storage, no AI — but the idea that would eventually ship to production on Render.

Whatever's next.

Internship '26

Final semester: 400 hours of industry work toward my BE(Hons) degree. Looking to contribute to a product team shipping real software — ideally touching LLMs, data, or full-stack.
