PROFESSIONAL PROFILE I’m a software engineer and a machine learning researcher who loves building things that actually work in the real world. I’ve spent over a year working in full-stack development, specifically focusing on backend systems and DevOps. My professional industry experience includes my work at Markaz Technologies (YC W22), where I worked as a software engineer, and before that, I worked as an individual freelancer. I have also been part of a pre-seed startup where I am working as a software engineer. Alongside my industry work, I had my research paper accepted at the AICCSA 2025 conference, which was a huge milestone for me. I’m now looking for a role where I can keep growing my technical skills while contributing to meaningful projects. EDUCATION Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS) , Islamabad , 3.4/4 (2026) INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE Markaz Technologies (YC W22) 25-Aug-2025 - 12-Dec-2025 During my time at Markaz, I worked on using large language models to work on the address problem for their marketplace. I was also responsible for moving some of our backend infrastructure from AWS Lambda to GCP Cloud Run and served the responses by my own setup CDN, which reduced latency by 4 times. I also migrated the assets currently served from Alibaba CDN to our own GCP bucket and served them via Markaz' own CDN. During this migration, I converted the images from JPG format to WebP format, reducing the size and improving the loading time. Machine Vision & Intelligent Systems Lab 23-Dec-2024 - 20-Apr-2026 I worked as a final-year project researcher here in this lab, where my work involved researching state-of-the-art models for LiDAR, hyperspectral, and RGB data fusion for phenotyping, specifically the traits like biomass. On the hardware side, I designed and 3D- printed custom mounts for sensors and integrated them onto the MikroKopter. I also handle the deployment of these models onto NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano boards to enable real-time data collection and processing during flight. For the inference, I also worked on creating the full-stack web portal. Eligient 19-May-2025 - 03-Mar-2026 I am developing a pre-seed stage MVP that automates legal contract generation and contract reviews. My role involves designing the high-level technical architecture and deciding between the tools, ensuring the platform is both scalable and user-friendly. To keep the product competitive, I meet with industry experts and research cutting-edge technologies to integrate features that solve specific legal bottlenecks. The tech stack of this MVP includes Next.js, FastAPI, Gemini API integration, and using Vercel and Render for the deployment. TUKL-NUST R&D Center 05-Jun-2023 - 08-Jan-2024 I worked at the TUKL-NUST R&D Center, where I focused on using deep learning for medical diagnostics. I trained models on the NMT scalp EEG dataset to successfully classify brain signals as either normal or abnormal. To make this research practical, I built a full-stack application using Vue.js for the frontend and Flask for the backend, supported by a MySQL database. FINAL YEAR PROJECT
