What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build production systems across backend, machine learning, data, or full-stack engineering, where I can own work from architecture through deployment and contribute to tested code, quality gates, and collaborative delivery.

I'm an applied AI and backend engineer focused on systems that are reliable, measurable, and ready for real users. My core strengths are Python, FastAPI, retrieval-augmented generation, machine learning, data pipelines, and automated testing.

For a confidential public-sector client, I delivered an air-gapped RAG platform with hybrid retrieval, local model serving, multi-format ingestion, background jobs, and citation validation. It returned cited answers in a median 3.6 seconds and was tested through 53 unit tests and a 136-probe adversarial evaluation suite. I have also built Great Expectations data-quality tooling with GitHub Actions, a CatBoost lead-qualification workflow, and an Android/Node.js marketplace with Firebase, Stripe webhooks, and 68 automated tests.

I hold a BS in Computer Science from LUMS. My research includes an ICONIP 2026-accepted extended abstract on a 155-class crop-disease ensemble, and I scored in the 96.7th percentile on the HEC national Computer Science competency test. I'm targeting remote roles in applied AI, LLM/RAG engineering, machine learning, backend engineering, and AI product development.
