What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable ML/AI systems (NLP, CV, LLM fine-tuning) in collaborative teams that value impact, accessibility, and continuous learning.

I am an AI engineer with hands-on experience building machine learning and deep learning systems, including real-time Urdu Sign Language recognition and a multilingual emergency-call classification system (Emergency Detection System 1122). I have completed a machine learning internship where I developed TensorFlow/Keras models, preprocessed data to boost performance, and deployed models using Streamlit.

I bring strong programming skills in Python, C++, Java, and SQL, plus practical experience with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn. I am passionate about creating scalable, accessible AI solutions that improve outcomes for users, and I collaborate effectively in team settings while contributing to research-oriented projects.
