🧬 WHO I AM β€” Research-Driven AI Engineer

Coding GIF

I am an 18-year-old AI research engineer from Rawalpindi, Pakistan β€” beginning my BS Computer Science at IQRA University Islamabad in Fall 2026 β€” with an obsessive, zero-tolerance focus on building production-grade AI systems for low-resource multilingual NLP.

I am not a generalist developer. I chose a research niche, architected a 10-year execution plan, and am shipping concrete AI infrastructure before my first semester begins.

🎯 Pre-University Execution Track Record

  • βœ… Harvard CS50P β€” daily GitHub commits, 100% completion
  • βœ… Mathematics Foundations β€” pre-calculus β†’ linear algebra mastery
  • βœ… 9 Industry Certifications β€” HackerRank, Kaggle, HP LIFE, ADBI, SoloLearn (verified)
  • βœ… PAKGOV-RAG Architected β€” bilingual Urdu-English RAG system for Pakistani government
  • βœ… 12-Repository Roadmap β€” engineered research pipeline spanning entire BS
  • βœ… GitHub Portfolio Live β€” 1000+ contributions, active research presence
  • βœ… Open-Source Contributions β€” published repos with 1.2K+ stars

πŸŽ“ Mission Statement

Build the foundational mathematics. Engineer production systems. Publish peer-reviewed research. Democratize AI access for underserved linguistic communities. Leave no shortcuts.
