What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to apply statistics, data analysis, and machine learning to real-world problems while continuously learning and contributing to collaborative, research-oriented work.

I'm focused on turning complex datasets into meaningful insights through statistical modeling, feature engineering, visualization, and machine learning.

For my MPhil thesis at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, I built a Transformer-based sequential recommendation system using Bayesian inference. I integrated user demographics, movie metadata, and time-dependent behavior, then visualized uncertainty with PCA, ROC curves, and calibration plots.

I work with Python, R, Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, tidyverse, and ggplot2, supported by a strong foundation in statistics, time series, multivariate analysis, and experimental design.

I'm motivated by continuous learning and applying data science to real-world problems, while bringing critical thinking, collaboration, and a research-oriented mindset to my work.
