AI and ML Engineer at Sharpestminds
Research and Experimentation.
Razy Shafiee is an innovative AI and Machine Learning Engineer based in Toronto, Canada, with over five years of experience building scalable ML-driven systems. She holds a Master’s degree in Mathematics and Statistics from Dalhousie University and a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Sharif University of Technology. Razy has led cutting-edge AI projects across wealth management, stock prediction, and semantic search, specializing in deep learning, graph algorithms, and Agentic AI. Passionate about real-world impact, he combines strong technical expertise with strategic thinking to deliver high-performance AI solutions.
I am passionate about scalable AI systems, real-time LLM pipelines, and graph-based machine learning, especially for financial and multi-agent applications. I am eager to connect with collaborators building innovative solutions in wealth management, RAG, and Agentic AI.
I am currently leading the design of scalable AI models for wealth management at Prospera AI, focusing on integrating Agentic AI frameworks like A2A and MCP. In parallel, I'm refining a hybrid stock prediction system built with Galformer and MemGPT, optimizing real-time LLM pipelines and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) strategies. I am also researching advanced Graph RAG methods to enhance semantic search and content retrieval architectures.
