PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Software Engineer with hands-on experience building Python backend systems, ML-enabled applications, and automation
workflows. Proven ability to debug and refactor production ML pipelines, improving model accuracy from ~10% to ~80% by correcting
data preprocessing, resolving feature–model mismatches, and fixing system-level inconsistencies. Comfortable working across
software engineering and applied AI, integrating ML models into reliable, scalable services rather than treating them in isolation.

INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS), NUST
03-Jul-2025 - 01-Sep-2025
Software / ML Intern: Debugged and modified core pipeline logic, including graph construction for skeleton data , to align system
behavior with updated input specifications. Analyzed and restructured an existing Python-based ML automation pipeline to support a
new data source, redesigning preprocessing workflows for compatibility and reliability. Improved pipeline accuracy from ~10% to
80% by resolving data inconsistencies, fixing preprocessing failures, and validating end-to-end automation flow. Worked with an
existing GitHub codebase to identify failure points and ensure correct execution across multiple datasets.
FINAL YEAR PROJECT
Federated Learning–Based Mental Health AI Platform (FYP)
Applied federated learning principles to address data-privacy constraints in multi-client mental health systems, enabling privacy-
preserving, client-isolated model training without centralized data sharing. Built a modular FastAPI backend to decouple
authentication, AI logic, and data access, improving scalability, data isolation, and long-term maintainability. Integrated DistilBERT-
based NLP pipelines and AI-driven REST APIs to support chat, questionnaires, and reporting workflows, enabling end-to-end ML
feature integration.
AI-Powered English Conversation Practice App (Academic Project)
Used Speech-to-Text and large language model APIs (LLaMA) to enable real-time, context-aware conversational responses for
spoken English practice. Implemented Text-to-Speech pipelines to provide natural, bidirectional voice feedback and improve user
engagement. Built a cross-platform Flutter application integrated with Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Storage) to manage user state and
persist conversation data across sessions.
Amazon Price Tracker (Academic Project)
Developed a hybrid web scraping system using Requests for lightweight pages and Selenium for dynamically rendered product
pages to reliably track price changes. Implemented structured data extraction for price, availability, and ratings using HTML parsing
with CSS/XPath selectors. Added automation features, including scheduled price checks and alert notifications when prices dropped
below defined thresholds.
