Umar Farooq
@umarfarooq15
Software Engineer building production AI platforms and full-stack enterprise applications.
What I'm looking for
I’m a top-ranked CS student at PUCIT with a 3.84/4.0 CGPA and a consistent record of competitive excellence. I focus on turning ideas into production-deployed systems—especially where AI, data, and clean engineering meet.
As a Software Developer at Vision Plus Technologies, I delivered enterprise-grade modules in ASP.NET MVC/.NET Core, owning backend business logic, Entity Framework data-access layers, and executive dashboard report generation with RDLC. I also diagnosed and resolved critical bugs in legacy production systems, restoring stability and reducing recurring failures across business-critical workflows.
I bring that same drive to mentoring: as a Teaching Assistant, I’m the primary technical mentor for 50+ undergraduates across multiple courses. I design lab assessments, grade full-stack projects, and run targeted debugging sessions that measurably improve pass rates, while staying actively engaged through leadership roles like Amal Fellow (Stanford-supported).
My featured work reflects my end-to-end mindset: I shipped a production AI platform integrating Gemini with an admin inventory system, Stripe billing, and Clerk authentication. I also architected a 7-service gig-worker income transparency platform with real-time ML anomaly detection and built ML-driven analytics to uncover fulfillment failure patterns using feature engineering, XGBoost, and SHAP explainability.
