About

Two tracks, one engineer.

I've spent 10 years as a software engineer, the last several focused on front-end work — React.js, Next.js, and WordPress — including AI-first Next.js UIs built with AI-assisted development workflows to ship complex, animated interfaces faster without cutting corners on quality.

In parallel, I'm completing an MS in Data Science at SZABIST, Islamabad. Thesis-I — an improved deep learning framework for multi-class Diabetic Retinopathy grading from fundus images, with a hybrid architecture and post-hoc explainability — has been defended and approved. Thesis-II is in progress.

Along the way I've presented research posters at SZABIST, including:

  • Predictive Modeling of House Prices Using Linear Regression Analysis in the Pakistani Real Estate Market
  • Predicting Customer Subscription in Bank Marketing Using Supervised Machine Learning
  • Hybrid Neural Network with Post-Hoc Interpretability for Multi-Class Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Grading

That combination — engineer who ships, researcher who studies the model — is the throughline of everything below.
