Message

At JIBE, I design and deploy enterprise analytics and intelligence systems across procurement, supplier risk, fraud detection, AI-based database management, and KPI monitoring. These systems improved operational efficiency by ~87% through data-driven insights and automation.

I built scalable data pipelines, SQL-based reporting logic, and executive dashboards at JIBE. I also implemented semantic search and retrieval with Milvus, deploying containerized services on AWS.

Previously, at FiveRivers Technology (Pvt), I led AI system development for power optimization, production monitoring, marketing intelligence, and sales optimization. At PATARI, I re-engineered backend systems for a music streaming platform, reducing response times from minutes to seconds and helping stabilize production.
