Mahshid Hyder Syed, a REVA University engineering student, is developing MyCareerAI to help students make informed career decisions.
BENGALURU — Mahshid Hyder Syed, a B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering student at REVA University, Bengaluru, is developing MyCareerAI, an AI-based career guidance platform aimed at helping students understand career options and prepare for professional opportunities.
The idea came from a problem Mahshid had seen closely during college. He and several senior students often struggled with the same questions: which career path to choose, what employers expect from fresh graduates and how to prepare effectively for interviews.
“My seniors and I experienced similar challenges while planning our careers. I wanted to create a platform that could help students identify their strengths, explore career opportunities and prepare for their future in one place,” said Mahshid Hyder Syed.

How Mahshid Hyder Syed turned technical knowledge into an idea
Mahshid has also gained practical exposure through technology-related projects with MagicoSoft LLC, a Dubai-based company working in web development, digital marketing and AI solutions.
The company was founded by his elder brother, giving Mahshid an opportunity to observe how technology projects move from an idea to a working product.
That experience strengthened his interest in software development, artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship, while also giving him a better understanding of the type of problems technology can solve.
Mahshid Hyder Syed’s MyCareerAI focuses on 4 career tools
MyCareerAI is currently at an early stage of development.
The prototype focuses on four main areas: resume analysis, career recommendations, skill-gap analysis and interview preparation.
Resume analysis is intended to help students review their applications, while career recommendations aim to suggest possible paths based on their profiles. Skill-gap analysis focuses on areas students may need to develop, and interview preparation is designed to support practice before job applications. These are development goals rather than a claim that every feature is already available to the public.
The idea is to give students a single place where they can review their current profile, understand areas that need improvement and explore possible career directions.
Future versions of the platform are expected to include more advanced AI-based features and personalised guidance based on a user’s skills, interests and career goals.
Mahshid sees the platform as something that can grow gradually as he learns more about both AI and the career challenges students face.
From Bengaluru to Dubai
After completing his engineering degree, Mahshid plans to continue his education and hopes to pursue an MBA focused on AI and Entrepreneurship in Dubai.
His long-term goal is to build technology products that address practical problems faced by students, businesses and everyday users. Read our overview of opportunities and challenges for Dubai entrepreneurs for more context on the city’s startup environment.
“I believe AI has the potential to solve everyday problems. MyCareerAI is just the beginning of my journey. I want to continue learning, building and creating solutions that make a difference,” he said.
For Mahshid, the project is also a way to apply what he is learning in the classroom to a real product.
Rather than waiting until after graduation to begin working on his ideas, he is using his time as a student to experiment with software, understand users and develop his skills as a future entrepreneur.
Mahshid Hyder Syed’s student project has room to grow
MyCareerAI is still in development, but it gives Mahshid an early opportunity to combine computer science, artificial intelligence and career-focused problem solving.
As the platform develops, the focus will remain on making career preparation simpler and more useful for students who may not know where to begin.
Through the project, Mahshid Hyder Syed is taking his first steps in technology entrepreneurship while continuing his studies at REVA University. For another example of AI tools discussed on UAE Business Voice, read about Yoojel AI and its study-focused platform.
