Holla, I'm Mostofa Shakib 👋

I was born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with a knack for reverse-engineering. In 2nd grade, I built a makeshift antenna using scrap wires and tapped into the signal from a nearby cable provider to watch Swat Kats since cable TV wasn't allowed in our home.

In high school, that same instinct led me to an untapped opportunity in eSports arbitrage on Steam, turning $5 into $30k (6000,000% ROI). Combined with scholarships, this helped fund my education in the US, where I earned bachelor's degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Electrical Engineering.

Later, I opted out of Carnegie Mellon University's Computer Science grad school to build things people want.

• GideonAI: Built a multimodal video moderation agent with compliance validation, cross-model disagreement detection, drift monitoring across content distributions, and cost-aware inference routing for per-clip model selection. Integrated confidence-based human review loops with policy feedback refinement
• Friday: Implemented a stateful multi-agent interview loop (Interviewer, Grader, Follow-up, Coach) with shared session memory to enforce calibrated difficulty progression, and built a RAG pipeline that generated adaptive follow-up questions based in prior responses and detected competency gaps; Integrated TTS as a callable tool with interrupt handling, and fallback behaviors when synthesis or network calls failed
• ResumeGPT: Built an AI resume optimizer to fix Bangladesh's resume writing problem. Went viral on LinkedIn
