Ahmed Yasser

AI builder based in Toronto.

I build and test software projects across computer vision, automation, and operations.

Right now, I am revisiting OPNReality. It began as an experiment in using computer vision to understand activity inside physical spaces. I am now testing a different direction focused on making authorized camera footage easier to search and use for public safety applications in Canada.

Before that, I worked on HeyArden, a prototype for helping small teams keep track of commitments, and Strategok, an early supply chain AI project.

Most of my work is experimental. I use these projects to test ideas, improve my technical skills, and understand where AI can be genuinely useful in real workflows.

Projects

2026
HeyArden·Execution layer

An execution layer for small teams. It watches where commitments actually get made, across Slack, meetings and voice, and tracks each one as an open loop that only closes on evidence the work happened, not on someone marking it done.

2026
OPNReality·Computer vision

Turns the security cameras a store already has into behavior analytics: how people move through the space, where they stall, what they walk past. No new hardware on the ceiling.

2026
QMatch·Procurement

RFQ software for logistics companies. Incoming quote requests get parsed, matched and answered in one place instead of living in a hundred email threads.

2025
StrucDNA·Investment research

A research platform for the qualitative half of stock analysis, built around a management credibility engine that tracks what leadership said they would do against what they actually did.

2025
Palmo·AI receptionist

An AI receptionist for tradespeople in the GTA that answered the calls they were missing while on a job. Ran through early 2026, then discontinued.

2025
Reducto·Chrome extension

A browser extension that strips out the things you do not want an AI system to see, before any of it leaves your machine.

2025
AI Hedge Fund·Multi-agent experiment

An experiment in running a fund as a set of AI agents that research independently, disagree, and have to argue each other into a position.

2025
MachNile·Simulation

A simulation of suborbital package delivery, working out what it would actually take to move something anywhere on earth in under an hour.

2025
LawsBird·Legal research

An AI tool that helps lawyers find verified Canadian case law and summarize rulings, instead of digging through it by hand.

2024
Invaflow·Forecasting

Demand forecasting and inventory management for businesses running the whole operation on a spreadsheet and a gut feeling.

2024
Optimizo·Route optimization

Route optimization for logistics trucks running multi-stop deliveries, solving for real constraints rather than straight-line distance.

Plus around five sites built for friends and family.

Research

2026
Artificial Intelligence in Rare Disease Therapeutics

An independent evidence review of nine AI-assisted rare disease drug programs, separating what is verified from what is company-reported, with a proposed research agenda.
