About Faisal Ahmed

I’m an AI research engineer specializing in Large Language Models (LLMs), multimodal systems, and end-to-end GenAI pipelines. My work focuses on training, fine-tuning, and optimizing models across modalities - text, image, video - driving innovations from prototype to production in products like Microsoft Designer and Seeing AI.My work includes training and fine-tuning models using techniques like LoRA to dramatically reduce training time and data requirements for image generation. I’ve built evaluation frameworks that leverage LLMs (e.g, GPT-4) to automatically assess prompt adherence, output quality, and correctness—replacing weeks of manual effort. I’ve also customized and deployed image transformation and restyling and inpainting systems now integrated into creative design tools.I am the core contributor of MM-ReAct, an open-source agentic multimodal reasoning framework that combines LLMs with domain-specific tools for visual math, spatial reasoning, and multi-image understanding. I led the development of MM-Vid, a system designed for deep video understanding using GPT-4V and custom video/audio tools. MM-Vid enables long-form video reasoning, speaker identification, and GUI co-piloting, and has been successfully integrated into real-world accessibility tools.Previously, I worked on product recommendation, multilingual demography prediction, sentiment analysis, and video retrieval - designing and building and deploying models using transformer-based architectures (e.g, XLMRoBERTa, CLIP4Clip).As an Adjunct Faculty at the University of Washington, I teach core computer science courses and mentor students in applied AI. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Stony Brook University, where I focused on NLP, accessibility, and intelligent user interfaces.
