BIOGRAPHY
My name is Muhamad Syazwan bin Faid, and I have a keen interest in solving issues in Islamic Studies using information technologies. I have used various tools, including GIS, Python, Machine Learning, Systematic Literature Reviews, and Statistics, to address challenges in Islamic Astronomy, Maqasid Shariah, and the Halal Industry. In Islamic Astronomy, I work on precise calculations and predictions, combining traditional knowledge with modern computational techniques. My Maqasid Shariah projects analyze Islamic law to ensure contemporary applications align with its principles. In the Halal Industry, I enhance compliance and verification through technological solutions, ensuring products meet halal standards. If you share similar interests, please do not hesitate to contact me.
