Curiosity,
with a feedback loop.

I'm an Artificial Intelligence undergraduate at NUST, focused on building intelligent systems that can perceive, learn, reason, and act.

My interests include:

  • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) & LLMs
  • Computer Vision & Deep Learning
  • Robotics & Autonomous Systems
  • Medical Imaging & Object Detection
  • Visual SLAM, Mapping & Navigation
  • Drone-based and perception-driven systems

I learn best by building, experimenting, and turning ideas into working systems. My goal is to develop practical, capable, and increasingly autonomous intelligent systems that can solve real-world problems.

01

Observe

Start with the environment, not the algorithm.

02

Make legible

Choose baselines and metrics people can inspect.

03

Put it in motion

Move from notebook to a system that can respond.

02 / working rangeTOOLS ARE MEANS, NOT IDENTITY

From raw signal
to useful action.

Computer vision

Detection, segmentation, visual inspection, and the discipline of working with imperfect images.

Machine learning

Multimodal modelling, evaluation, medical imaging, and interpretable baselines.

Robotics + autonomy

ROS2, mapping, controls, sensor fusion, and systems that have to act in real time.
