I build the full path from silicon to cloud — ESP32 & Raspberry Pi sensor networks,
real-time telemetry pipelines, and the LLM & ML systems that reason over the data.
8+ years across Django, FastAPI, AWS & Azure, with LLM training and evaluation for
Apple, Mistral, ServiceNow & Gemini.
I'm a Machine Learning Lead and LLM Engineer who is just as comfortable soldering a
sensor node as I am designing a training-data pipeline. Over 8+ years I've owned products end-to-end —
from requirements through production support — for renewable energy, industrial IoT, HR, and AI programs.
My deepest specialization is the last 4+ years in LLMs: fine-tuning, evaluation,
prompt engineering, RLHF, and instruction-following data generation for models from
Apple, Mistral, ServiceNow, and Gemini. I progressed from Trainer to
Senior SME, QA, and Calibrator, now leading quality calibration across multiple
safety and reasoning workstreams.
On the systems side I architect scalable backends with Django, DRF, Flask, and FastAPI,
deploy across AWS and Azure with real CI/CD, and build the physical layer too —
ESP32/Raspberry Pi sensor networks, PLC-driven acquisition, and servo-controlled actuation feeding
live monitoring dashboards.
LLM fine-tuning, evaluation, prompt engineering & instruction-following data generation for models from Apple, Mistral, ServiceNow & Gemini.
Delivered function-calling & tool-use training data for Apple, improving the model's ability to correctly invoke functions and follow structured instructions.
Progressed from Trainer to Senior SME, QA & Calibrator — now leading quality calibration and reviewing junior trainers across multiple safety and reasoning workstreams.
Served as SME, QA & Calibrator on SWE-Bench, Microsoft Safety Datapacks, CASB/Perplexity CASB & Google Safety Pairs, authoring and calibrating safety-critical evaluation data.
Built a complete web-scraping engine over 50+ portals, handling pagination, anti-bot measures & structured data extraction at scale.
Created an evaluation harness for TuringGPT to streamline internal model testing and benchmarking.
Prioritized and maintained the sprint backlog, translating roadmap features into epics, user stories & acceptance criteria; wrote unit tests following TDD with Pytest.
Lead machine learning and full-stack engineering as ML Lead — owning architecture decisions, code reviews, and technical mentorship for the engineering team.
Architected an end-to-end IoT gas-pressure monitoring platform for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines (SNGPL), deployed across multiple field sites to track pressure, flow & temperature in real time.
Designed the field sensor network with ESP32/Raspberry Pi microcontrollers, PLCs for industrial-grade data acquisition, and servo motors for automated valve control.
Built real-time telemetry pipelines streaming into InfluxDB/MongoDB with threshold-based alerting for pressure anomalies and potential leaks, plus a React/Next.js live dashboard for field engineers and operations staff.
Implemented remote device management and over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates for field-deployed IoT hardware.
Delivered a 2FA secure login system for NADRA Pakistan, and built an AI sales-intelligence dashboard (Apollo lead scoring → Claude-generated outreach) and a classification-aware enterprise document platform (Entra ID, SharePoint, HSM-backed encryption).
Built and maintained full-stack apps on ReactJS, Next.js & Supabase over Django/DRF backends, plus ML/ETL pipelines indexing multi-vendor data into Elasticsearch.
Own technical direction and product strategy as CTO, leading development across the engineering organization.
Set architecture standards, code-quality practices, and CI/CD workflows for AI-powered and full-stack products.
Delivered a portfolio of in-house and client products — marketplaces, installable PWAs, SEO content platforms, and AI tools — on React/Next.js, Supabase, Vite & Vercel.
Shipped LLM-driven features (chat agents, retrieval, and content generation) integrating Claude, Gemini & OpenAI into production apps.
Drive hiring, mentorship, and delivery planning, translating business goals into scalable technical roadmaps.
Delivered a Django-based solar-energy platform (Zero Carbon) accelerating low-carbon power adoption, with RESTful APIs and web, Android & iOS clients.
Built Glaukus, an IoT aqua-monitoring app tracking dissolved oxygen, nitrate, pH & ammonia via Arduino/Raspberry Pi sensor nodes with waterproof probes and wireless telemetry — automated alerts and full mobile/web aerator control.
Delivered an automated scooter-rental platform (Ride With Pride) with camera-based license-plate recognition (image processing & character segmentation on live Pi-Cam video), ESP32-controlled stands with servo locking, and app auth tied to university portal credentials.
Worked hands-on across the full IoT hardware stack — Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, servo motors, PLCs, cameras, microphones & speakers — for prototyping, sensor integration & field deployment.
Built real-time device connectivity with Azure IoT Hub, MQTT & Redis, streaming into InfluxDB and served via Azure App Service.
Held weekly meetings with the operations team to align engineering work with business needs.
