Summary
I received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from COMSATS University Islamabad, Pakistan, and hold an M.S. in Computer Science from the International Islamic University (IIUI), Islamabad. I’m a research scientist and AI/ML developer passionate about building intelligent systems that work effectively in the real world. With over 23 years of professional experience, I have developed and architected enterprise-grade software solutions for multinational companies in Europe and the USA, specializing in software design, architecture, and development using C++, C#, ASP.NET Core, Java, HTML, and Python. Currently, I’m an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Computing at the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (FAST), Islamabad. My research interests are in “intelligent transportation systems", "autonomous vehicles", and "large language models”. My focus areas include Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Computer Vision, and efficient model training and deployment, LoRA-based model fine-tuning, AgenticAI with a strong eye on fairness and scalability. I combine strong research foundations with hands-on experience in deploying models and pipelines across academic and industrial settings.
