Now: AI SWE Co-op @ NExT Consulting

I build AI that answers phones and watches game film.

I'm Awad Buisir, a computer science student at Northeastern. Recently I built a bilingual English–Arabic voice agent for emergency-call intake, a phone receptionist that books real appointments, and a YOLOv8 pipeline that turns full soccer matches into highlight clips.

About

I study computer science at Northeastern (3.84 GPA, Dean's List) and graduate in August 2027. This fall I'm an AI Software Engineer co-op at NExT Consulting, building AI-enabled tools for client engagements. Since 2023 I've also run IT for AL Prime Energy across 70 sites and 1,000+ cameras, so I'm used to keeping systems working long after launch.

I founded LibyanClub at Northeastern in November 2025, the first Libyan student association in the US. Within six months it became the most-followed club page at Northeastern. I also built the system behind its content: AI-assisted drafts, a steady publishing schedule, and an analytics review that decides what we post next.

  • AI-assisted content pipeline with a feedback loop
  • Analytics review that sets the next brief
  • Publishing schedule and post formats
  • Brand identity
  • Distribution across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook
  • Coordination among new Libyan student groups nationwide

08AI Creative Works

Ideas, directed with AI.

Historical storytelling and apparel design, from reference to finished piece.

I also use image and video models as a creative tool, mostly to tell stories from Libyan history and to try out design ideas.

Historical storytelling

Libyan history, illustrated for younger audiences.

I start from reference images of the real people and places, then write prompts that keep each character consistent from frame to frame and from one model to the next.

From reference to reel

How a story gets made.

Each piece takes research, many rounds of prompting, switching between models, and editing until the story reads clearly.

From AI concept to the court

A Libya basketball kit, designed with AI and brought to life.

I used AI to explore patterns, materials, and how the jersey would look in use, and the concept drew interest from the Libyan Basketball Federation. Then I produced it and sold 200+ jerseys for charity for the MSA Madness tournament, raising $15,000+. I also put together, played on, and coached the team I registered. We won the tournament out of 15 teams, and I'm donating the $2,000 prize to charitable work in Libya.

Hiring for software or applied-AI roles? I'd like to hear about it. I can demo any private project live or walk you through the code.
