I'm a software engineer who builds AI agents and the tests that keep them honest.

I wrote two first-author papers on AI tutors that leak answers.

B.Sc. from UBC Okanagan, 2026: Honours CS, minor in Data Science.

Work

• EduAI Lab, technical lead, summer 2026. I handled integration and code review with a six-student team (124 reviews across 63 pull requests, July 1 to 22, 2026), and built HelpMe's four-agent LANTERN architecture. github.com/EduAI-Lab/EduAI
• AI Tutor Harness, my research. I built a harness that pressures AI tutors to reveal answers over six turns and records every draft, supervisor review and judge label. It backs both of my papers. github.com/Whiteknight07/ai-tutor-harness
• Stavan, my handwriting font. I turned 675 pages of my Apple Pencil notes into a free font, a code font and a pen-plotter font, with a site that replays text in my original strokes. font.stavan.ai
• Config Agent, DxFactor, summer 2025. I built an Excel onboarding agent from scratch: it finds the right admin APIs in their docs, makes dependent calls with saved state and retries, and loads only the instructions each step needs.

Papers

• Evaluating Answer Leakage in Multi-Turn AI Tutoring for Computing Education. Stavan Tejas Shah, Abdallah Mohamed, Mostafa Mohamed. Accepted at SIGCSE Virtual 2026, November 12 to 15.
• Benchmarking and Mitigating Answer Leakage in LLM Tutoring Under Persistent Student Pressure. Stavan Tejas Shah, Mostafa Mohamed, Abdallah Mohamed. I presented it at WCCCE 2026.

How I work

I run my coding agents in T3 Code. I write the brief, then read the diff, reproduce failures and run the tests before I accept a change.

Made for myself

• portal-watch: tells me when a broken admissions portal works again
• codex-profiles: separate Codex desktops, one account each
• digup-launcher: DigUp's search inside files, in Tinycast
• logcruncher: streams multi-GB logs without loading them into memory
• Hindsight: finds pages I remember visiting but can't find again

Outside work

• I'm a private pilot (FAA).
• I speak English, Hindi and Gujarati.
