I use AI to connect evidence, growth strategy, behavior, data and digital systems, and turn hard problems into work that ships and gets measured. Seventeen years of growth and operations across eight industries decide what is worth building. AI lets one operator build it.
I don't just prompt AI. I frame the problem, orchestrate the models, challenge the output, and tie the work to a number.
Every system on this page started as a business or public-health problem with a number attached, not as a tool demo.
Grounded AI assistants, decision tools, publishing and analytics pipelines, each live or clearly labelled as a prototype.
10 seconds: above · 60 seconds: three flagships and the Proof Lab · 5 minutes: the case files
If you only look at three things, look at these: an assistant held to my published record, an operating engine with a human gate on everything public, and a health workflow that puts rules before models.
One engine runs four assistants on three sites: Ask Shafaat, Ask HSREP, the HSREP pilot assistant and its Bangladesh edition. Each answers only from published work, links the source, and removes any figure the record does not support.
120+ essays (released on a schedule through January 2027) and 48 free tools, each reviewed and approved by me before it goes live, measured by a nightly pipeline that checks its data first.
A weekly worklist for colorectal screening follow-through, ranked by three visible rules on a synthetic panel. A model enters only if it beats them.
25 fixed questions, each with a written pass rule, run against Ask Shafaat's real code, knowledge base and model. Below is what passed, what failed, what I changed, and where my own test was wrong.
I publish these because a test suite that never needs correcting is not being read.

The edge is not knowing the tools; thousands of people do. It is combining growth strategy and public health with AI orchestration, data, communication and systems design, so the AI is pointed at the right problem and checked against the right standard. Pick a discipline to see the skills, the AI workflows and the evidence.
Growth is my core. Seventeen years of growth and operations across eight industries decide which problem deserves an AI build at all, and what it has to earn.
An MPH and CHES on top of the growth record. Health work raises the bar: an AI error can reach a patient, so evidence, equity and oversight come first.
I direct several models and agents as one system: the right model for each step, a human gate before anything public, and logs that show what happened.
Numbers decide whether work continues. I design what gets measured, check the data before trusting it, and say plainly what a number can and cannot show.
Adoption is a behavior problem before it is a technology problem. I translate evidence for the audience who has to act on it, in English and Bangla.
Most AI value is lost between the demo and the routine. I design the operating rhythm: who does what each week, what gets checked, and what triggers a change.
Every case file follows the same structure: the problem, what AI contributed, what I designed, directed or reviewed, the evidence, its status, and what is not yet proven. Screenshots are of the real, live work.
A model answers or acts inside the live product.
AI runs inside a recurring workflow, behind a human gate.
AI helped design and build it; the product itself runs no model.
Explainable rules decide; AI helped research and build it.
LiveOne engine, four assistants on three sites. Each answers only from published work, links to the exact source, adds the correction when a figure has been corrected, and hands off to a person when it matters.
Published recordNine pieces in two countries arguing that health protection is economic protection, produced with several AI models under one editorial standard and measured in the open.
PrototypeA weekly worklist that helps a clinic finish colorectal screening, deliberately built on three visible rules before any predictive model.
Live toolPreliminary classification support: ten questions suggest which EU AI Act tier a use case likely falls in, when those rules apply, the human oversight it needs, and Colorado duties where relevant.
Running system120+ essays and 48 free tools, structured for AI answer engines. The essays are released on a schedule through January 2027, each after my review.
A nightly pipeline that pulls Google Analytics, Search Console and Cloudflare into one dashboard, and checks the data before it trusts it.
Live productAn interactive map of 21 results across 9 organizations, built AI-assisted as a working product rather than a slide.
Each task goes to the cheapest model that can do it well, judgment-heavy work stays at the top, and automations are reviewed on cost per result.
Five stages, and the judgment that management and public-health work trained into me sits in every one. Select a stage to see it in a real project.
Name the real problem, who is involved, what blocks the outcome and what a win looks like, before any tool is chosen.
The obvious brief was a new way to get people screened. The evidence said the methods already work and execution varies: one mailed-kit programme ranged from minus 7 to plus 18 points across 26 clinics.
So the problem became follow-through, and the product became a weekly routine a clinic's own staff can run.
Pick a challenge, or type your own. You get my framing in four parts: the real problem, the evidence I would want, the method, and how we would know it worked. Then push it further with the AI version of me, live.
Awareness, access, trust or price? Usually the channel people already use matters more than a new brand campaign.
Where patients come from today, where they drop off between first call and visit, and cost per new patient by channel.
Map the patient path, fix the biggest leak first, then test one access channel (a hotline, a partner, a referral loop) against a control.
New patients per week and cost per new patient, against the baseline before the test.
Ask Shafaat · the AI version of me, liveYour question will arrive already typed: you still press Ask. Answers come from my published essays, cases and tools.
This is an AI, not me in real time. It answers only from my published work, removes any figure it cannot support, and offers a call when a question needs a person. How questions are handled.
No self-assigned percentages. Each capability says whether I do it myself or direct an AI-assisted build, and where you can see it.
Research passes across papers, regulators and news, with every figure kept beside its source. Contradictions are flagged, not smoothed over.

Public output passes a human gate. Weekly approvals are recorded against the exact text that will be posted.
Figures trace to a source. The assistant removes any figure it cannot support, and the Proof Lab tests that in public.
Every assistant, tool and AI narration states that it is AI, what it draws on, and its limits.
Synthetic data before real data, coded exports with no names or dates in the pilot design, and a plain notice on how questions are handled.
Start with explainable rules. Add prediction only when it beats them, under the host's governance.
Bot checks, rate limits, a daily cap and an automatic pause keep public AI safe and affordable.
Whether you are hiring for a growth, health or AI-adoption role, or scoping a defined project, these are the problems where this mix of skills pays off fastest.
Find where AI removes cost or adds speed in planning, content and measurement, then build the first workflow with your team.
Proof: Content and tools engine
Close the gap between care recommended and care finished, with routines your staff can run and evidence a board can trust.
Decide what to build, what to buy and what to skip, and put the checks in place before anything reaches a customer or patient.
Proof: AI Risk Triage
Tell me what isn't moving. In one call you'll know whether AI is part of the answer, and what I would build first.
It is tested in public. The Proof Lab on this page runs 25 published questions with written pass rules, three times each, against the live assistant's code and model, and shows every failure found, what was changed, and the raw answers word for word. A pass shows behaviour on those questions, not general accuracy.
Using AI inside real work with a measurable goal: assistants grounded in published work, decision tools, and publishing and analytics systems, each with a human check and stated limits.
He designs and directs them, and writes the rules, prompts, data models and checks. The code is built with AI pair-programming to his specification and tested by him. He does not train machine-learning models.
No. Nothing a visitor types changes what it knows, so it cannot be taught something false. When the published record changes, the knowledge base is rebuilt, tested and deployed by hand. Background text that repeats across questions is cached, which keeps the cost per answer down.
Ask Shafaat on every page of shafaatalichoyon.com, Ask HSREP on every page of hsraep.org, the pilot assistant on the HSREP initiative pages and hsrep.bd, the AI Risk Triage tool, 48 free tools, the Impact System Map and the HSREP Season 1 record.
One engine, four assistants on three sites. Each answers only from published work, links to the exact source, adds the correction when a figure has been corrected, and hands off to a person when it matters.
The homepage tour and the In Brief on each HSREP article can be heard in an AI version of my voice, made with my consent. Every script is written from the page and approved before it is recorded, every player says it is an AI voice, and the audio loads only when a visitor presses play. I chose not to give the live assistants a voice: their answers are written fresh each time, and my voice should only say words I have reviewed.
