What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to innovate and grow in AI and software development, preferably in a collaborative environment that values creativity and technical excellence.

I am a dedicated Machine Learning Engineer with a Bachelor of Computer Science from FAST NUCES, where I graduated with a CGPA of 3.6 and received a Gold Medal for my academic achievements. My journey in technology has been marked by a strong focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and software development. I have a proven track record of spearheading projects that leverage advanced algorithms and data analysis to solve complex problems, particularly in the realm of computer vision and self-driving technologies.

Currently, I am working at Maanz AI, where I lead the development of tools that enhance the performance of a large team of annotators. My role involves extracting data and creating KPIs for model evaluation, as well as maintaining post-processing pipelines. I have also gained valuable experience in deploying AI solutions in cloud environments, ensuring efficient CI/CD processes. My previous roles, including an AI Software Developer position at Hais.ai, have further honed my skills in deploying chatbots and integrating MLOps practices.
