PROFILE

Zaid Qureshi

Worked on the livekit/agents repository to deliver two core features focused on text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities. Developed a TTS plugin powered by Uplift AI, enabling real-time voice synthesis for underserved languages with chunked streaming and WebSocket integration, which improved accessibility and user engagement. Later, implemented a phrase replacement configuration for TTS, allowing dynamic phrase substitutions via configuration IDs to streamline customization without code changes. Both features were built using Python, leveraging API integration and plugin development skills. The work emphasized config-driven design and deployment readiness, reducing post-processing needs and supporting faster client onboarding for TTS-enabled conversational agents.
