Building production-ready intelligent systems that bridge the gap between research and real-world impact.
I'm an AI Developer based in Karachi, Pakistan, passionate about designing intelligent systems that solve real problems from real-time surveillance to generative AI pipelines.
My work spans the full ML lifecycle: data cleaning, model development, evaluation, and deployment. I enjoy working at the intersection of research and engineering taking ideas from paper to production.
Currently pursuing studies at Virtual University of Pakistan while building hands on experience through projects and exploring MS-AI as a future goal.
Full-stack YOLOv8-based real-time fire & smoke detection system. Built a complete pipeline including data preprocessing, model training, FastAPI backend with SQLite logging, Twilio SMS/email alerting, and a multi-page Streamlit dashboard with Plotly analytics.
NLP-based resume screening and candidate matching platform. Automates talent discovery by intelligently parsing resumes and ranking candidates against job descriptions.
Multi-camera real-time person re-identification system. Tracks individuals across different camera feeds using deep feature extraction and similarity matching.
Facial stress classification using MobileNetV2 transfer learning. Deployed as an interactive Streamlit app with real-time webcam inference and confidence scoring.
End-to-end ML pipeline with ensemble stacking (XGBoost + LightGBM + Random Forest), Optuna hyperparameter tuning, imbalanced data handling, and MLflow experiment tracking on AWS EC2.
Semantic image segmentation using U-Net architecture. Trained on custom datasets with data augmentation for precise pixel-level classification.
