What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can build secure full-stack features and turn data into insights, while growing my software-engineering and machine-learning skills with strong mentorship.

I’m a BS Computer Science student in Karachi, focused on turning complex problems into clean, reliable software and data-driven solutions. I back my work with coursework in Data Structures and Algorithms, Intro to AI/ML, Natural Language Processing, and Software Engineering.

I’ve gained hands-on experience through internships at Foundation Fighting Poverty (research on Pakistan’s education sector; analytical reports; field data synthesis) and Aga Khan University Hospital (structured data collection and patient interaction). I also tutor students by mentoring them with structured lessons and simplified problem-solving.

In projects, I designed and implemented a scalable 3-tier architecture (React → Express → Flask → PostgreSQL) with JWT-based authentication, bcrypt hashing, and role-based access control. I also build ML and analytics solutions like a rule-based classifier for product status prediction, plus web apps and management systems using React, Flask, MySQL, and Supabase.
