What I'm looking for

I'm looking for entry-level software engineering and AI/ML roles.

At University of Management and Technology (UMT), I co-authored VLVRAG, a vectorless retrieval approach for question answering over educational videos. The paper was accepted at ICASF 2027.

My work explored adaptive evidence segmentation, hierarchical lecture organization, BM25 search, and evidence validation. Reported results included an F1 increase from 71.0% to 76.9%.

I built MinahilAssistant, a document-grounded chatbot using LangChain, FAISS, and a FastAPI backend. It uses query rewriting and conversational context to answer questions from a custom knowledge base.

In LegacyBank, I refactored a Python banking application across nine versions and wrote 15 characterization tests. I'm also contributing to backend and frontend development on LifeStream, an ongoing blood donation platform.
