about
System info
I'm an AI/ML Engineer and Data Scientist with an MS in Data Science from PUCIT and an Electrical Engineering degree from UET Lahore. I work across Python, SQL, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, NLP, Computer Vision, and Generative AI.
On the engineering side I lean on Docker, Kubernetes, and DevOps practices to deploy and scale reliable models. Across Scraperrs, Machine Learning 1 Limited, and Descon I've delivered predictive modeling, NLP, computer vision, and end-to-end ML deployment. My focus is building practical, reliable, scalable AI that solves real problems.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope. A proof-of-concept can be days; a fully deployed AI system usually takes 1–4 weeks. I'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
How do we communicate and track progress?
We can work over Upwork, Fiverr, email, or WhatsApp. I share regular updates and a working demo as early as possible so you're never in the dark.
Do you offer revisions and post-delivery support?
Yes. Every project includes revisions until you're happy, plus a support window after delivery to fix issues and answer questions.
Can you work with my existing codebase or team?
Absolutely. I can integrate with your current stack, follow your conventions, and collaborate with your developers via Git.
How do you handle data privacy and NDAs?
I'm happy to sign an NDA. Your data and code stay confidential, and I follow secure practices (e.g., API keys are never exposed client-side).
What do your services cost?
Pricing depends on scope and complexity. Share your requirements and I'll send a transparent quote — fixed-price or hourly, whichever suits you.
