01 - About

Who I am

AI Engineer based in Karachi. Just over a year in, working across computer vision, LLMs and RAG systems built and shipped, not just prototyped. I care about one thing: does this actually make someone's work easier. That's it, that's the filter everything goes through. BS in Artificial Intelligence, SZABIST.

Take a real business problem and build something that makes people work smarter and faster.
