As-Salam Alaikkum, I'M SHIYAD ISMAIL
I design AI systems where humans stay in command.
Software Architect building LLM platforms, event-driven backends and real-time control systems on AWS, Azure and GCP — from recruitment AI in Saudi Arabia to grid intelligence in Europe. Every system below is a live diagram: open one, hover the components, read the trade-offs.

LIVESELECTED SYSTEMS
Five production architectures, drawn live
Each card opens an interactive topology of the real system — the components, the message flows, and the reasoning. Amber packets are control and approval paths; cyan packets are data. The pattern you will notice everywhere: AI proposes, humans approve.

PROOF, NOT PROMISES
Ask the AI — it runs on my own RAG stack
This assistant is a working retrieval-augmented pipeline: my CV and project write-ups embedded into a vector database, retrieved by similarity, answered by an LLM with grounding — the same pattern I architected for Fursa's candidate–job matching. The portfolio demonstrates the skill it describes.
This assistant answers from an embedded knowledge base of my CV and project write-ups — retrieval-augmented, the same pattern I build in production. Try one:
