At National University of Science and Technology (NUST), I supported staff and students with hardware, software, and operating-system issues. I also supported Google Admin, remote access, and device provisioning as a Student Assistant.

For my final-year project, I built a cardiovascular disease prediction system using longitudinal EHR data, with a clinical decision support prototype for prediction, explainability, and clinical risk reporting. I developed RESTful APIs with FastAPI and a responsive React application.
