Make a BIM · Full-time

Joined Make a BIM during its early growth phase and helped build the company's technology stack end to end, from its first Next.js and React web application to a redesigned second-generation platform with authentication, user management, and payment integration. On the machine learning side, I designed and owned the complete pipeline — data preparation, augmentation, training, evaluation, and deployment — shipping over 20 production instance segmentation model releases that lifted performance to 74% and improved raster-to-vector floor plan conversion accuracy by roughly 40%. I also optimized backend processing pipelines for up to a 4x speedup, architected the production database and Google Cloud infrastructure, including virtual machines, Artifact Registry, Docker, and background workers, and automated CI/CD through GitLab. Throughout, I worked closely with architects, product stakeholders, and engineers to turn research prototypes into reliable, production-ready AI solutions.

Full Stack Developer

Fornax Technologies · Full-time

As technical lead for a four-person engineering team, I owned delivery from client requirements through production launch at Fornax Technologies. I served as the primary technical point of contact for clients, translating business needs into actionable specifications and shepherding more than 10 full-lifecycle projects from concept to deployment. Alongside leading the team, I contributed directly to both frontend and backend development to unblock engineers, resolve tricky technical issues, and keep delivery timelines on track. I also established the company's first formal code review process and development guidelines, raising code quality, system performance, and long-term maintainability across every project the team shipped.

MARKT-PILOT · Part-time

As a remote Python developer for MARKT-PILOT, I built and maintained large-scale web scraping and ETL infrastructure to keep product data current in real time. I authored more than 100 scrapers pulling data from a wide range of sources to enrich product listings, and optimized the underlying ETL pipeline for faster, more accurate downstream analysis. Alongside the engineering work, I documented the scraping tools and data workflows in detail, making the system easier for the wider team to use, extend, and maintain.

Horizon Technology · Full-time

At Horizon Technology I built a high-value defense insights dashboard from the ground up, combining full-stack engineering with geospatial analytics for real-time monitoring of warships and ground radar via satellite imagery. I sourced open-source satellite imagery to train, test, and evaluate several computer vision models for object classification, then wrote the custom inference scripts that integrated them directly into the web application. I developed and optimized scalable data processing pipelines to clean, analyze, and visualize high-resolution spatial and radar datasets for over 10,000 daily active users, and built Land Use / Land Cover classification tools that paired modern web frameworks with GIS software for complex satellite and vector data. Throughout, I worked in a cross-functional engineering team following Git-based workflows, participating in code reviews, sprint planning, and large-scale feature deployments.

GIS & Remote Sensing Intern

National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Pakistan · Internship

During my internship with Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority, I applied satellite remote sensing to nationwide flood monitoring and disaster response. I processed and analyzed multi-temporal satellite imagery to map and monitor flood extent and its spatial progression across the country, producing high-resolution flood maps and historical pattern assessments that supported rapid response, risk reduction, and mitigation planning. I also ingested, cleaned, and integrated optical and SAR imagery into disaster management workflows, improving automated water body extraction and inundation analysis for the wider team.
