Software Developer
Ottawa, ON | khalifa7k@gmail.com
I’m Khalifeh Basiri, a software developer based in Ottawa, Ontario. I build Python and TypeScript applications across desktop software, full-stack web development, and applied AI. I’ve delivered government tools, shipped responsive Next.js products used by real customers, and built AI workflows with validation, human review, and recovery.
Applied AI, computer vision, and the systems that make useful products reliable.
Independent builds and experiments.
An AI job tracker for Gmail and Outlook. GPT-6 Luna classifies hiring updates; GPT-5.4 mini extracts application details.
Built the desktop app, evidence checks, human review, and resumable imports.
OpenAI Decisions + Responses with Structured Outputs.
A Windows vehicle diagnostics app with an AI agent that gathers live ECU data, searches service manuals, researches parts, and resumes saved investigations.
Built hybrid RAG, LangChain tools, LangGraph investigation workflows, browser research, and evidence validation.
Hybrid-search prototype with page-level citations.
An art community for sharing work and discovering artists. A system design rebuild added Redis caching, secure sessions, and recoverable publishing.
Built the Angular app, Express API, and workflows across MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
Data boundaries, caching, security, and recovery.
AI-powered computer vision for ASL alphabet recognition. MediaPipe hand landmarks feed a TensorFlow Lite classifier that returns letters and confidence.
Built the React camera interface, Flask API, and TensorFlow training pipeline.
21 hand landmarks → 63 features per prediction.
An educational C++/Qt simulation of insulin delivery and glucose changes, with boluses, basal adjustments, and safety constraints.
Owned dosing logic, limits, alerts, and suspend/resume behavior in a four-person team.
Dosing, profiles, battery safety, and cartridge alerts.
Accepted LeetCode solutions synced through the GitHub API, with generated READMEs, least-privilege authorization, and resumable imports.
Built and published the extension, from repository setup to historical imports.
A complete onboarding, sync, and import workflow.
Posts, votes, and threaded comments update in real time through a Convex reactive backend, with Clerk authentication and server-enforced permissions.
Built and deployed the Next.js app, authentication, and ownership checks.
Posts, votes, and comments share one community feed.
Production tools and client work.
A marketing site for a proxy platform serving 20,000+ customers, with reusable product pages and language-specific API examples.
Shipped the responsive Next.js site, navigation, product selectors, and copyable API examples.
Reached within four months of launch.
Find files across a large Azure data estate using indexed metadata. Background refreshes keep searches responsive.
Built multithreaded search, exports, and refreshes that preserve the last valid database.
File-location searches reduced to seconds or minutes.
Validate geographic names and coordinates against authoritative API records, using bilingual rules and geospatial matching.
Led a three-person team through requirements, client demos, deployment, and training.
CHS Atlantic reported this improvement for one process.

I love building apps and websites - especially when there's a real problem to solve. A lot of my personal projects start because I or a friend needed a tool that didn't exist yet, and I figured I'd just build it.
Fluent in English, and conversational in Arabic and Farsi. When I'm not at a keyboard, you'll usually find me at the gym, gaming, reading, catching up with friends, or working on my car - I enjoy diagnosing problems and getting things running again, whether it's software or an engine.
