What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to leverage my machine learning expertise in impactful projects.

I am a Machine Learning Engineer with a Master’s in Robotics Intelligent Machines Engineering and over 7 years of experience as a Commissioned IT Officer in the Pakistan Air Force. My journey into machine learning has been driven by deep self-study and applied projects, complemented by a solid foundation in systems engineering. I hold the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate, which has further solidified my expertise in this field.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed and implemented various machine learning projects, including a real-time face recognition system for military surveillance and an accident prevention system for motorways. My technical skills encompass a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, including Python, SQL, and TensorFlow, among others. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of working alongside senior engineers to ensure the reliability and scalability of systems in high-pressure situations.
