Biography

Kawsher HRidoy leads Cortex Crew.

An AI and machine learning developer at Daffodil International University, and the person who leads Cortex Crew from planning through a live demo.

Kawsher HRidoy is an AI and machine learning developer and the team lead of Cortex Crew, a student hackathon and project showcase team at Daffodil International University (DIU) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He leads Cortex Crew from planning through a live, defensible demo.

In 2026 the team recorded six results under his lead: Champion at the CSAD Project Showcasing Competition, 1st Runners-up at IEEE ICADHI 2026, and Finalist at the AI Innovation Hackathon, the AI Project Competition, the 5th Data Science Summit, and RoboFusion 1.0.

His work focuses on machine learning that ships as production systems. He has led Niro, a patient-owned records platform with Bangla lab and prescription reading; Autopilot, GPU failure prediction and cluster migration on the order of a hundred seconds; and AI Mentor, an eight-signal academic and attendance model with auditable rules. The stack is Python, FastAPI, Next.js, and PostgreSQL, with LightGBM and Azure OpenAI where they fit.

Niro, Autopilot, and AI Mentor are the production systems named in the biography. Darktrace3 is the CSAD Champion build.

  • Darktrace3

    Tells stealer-malware victims exactly what to lock down

    Most breach checkers only tell you an email address turned up in a leak. Darktrace3 works from malware and infostealer logs instead, so it can tell a person they were compromised by a stealer at all — and show which sites and accounts were exposed, so they know precisely what to change. Passwords are always masked in results; the tool is built for awareness, not harvesting.

  • Niro

    Patient-owned medical records, read aloud in Bangla

    Patients own their records; an AI reads lab reports and prescriptions in plain Bangla, tracks values over time, and prepares a case summary so a real doctor can review it cheaply. The AI never gives final medical advice — it explains and flags, and consent is a core feature rather than a checkbox.

  • Autopilot

    A GPU cluster that heals itself before it fails

    Reads GPU telemetry, predicts a failure about 100 seconds ahead, then cordons the node and migrates the running job automatically — a closed loop from prediction to recovery. We measured it against the alert rule real clusters use today, on identical held-out data, and published both numbers.

  • AI Mentor

    Finds the student who is about to fall behind

    A deterministic engine scores every mentee across eight academic and attendance signals, then an AI turns the numbers into a plain-language brief. The mentor opens a ranked command centre instead of scrolling a flat table — and every score can be audited back to the rule that produced it.
