Karachi, Pakistan | Open to Relocate Globally

I am an AI researcher and engineer who designs and deploys deep learning systems that bridge cutting-edge research with real-world impact. With over 4.5 years of experience, I have advanced from intern to senior research leadership by consistently delivering measurable outcomes, peer-reviewed publications in IEEE Xplore and Springer, production-grade models exceeding 95% accuracy, and end-to-end mentorship of 40+ research candidates to publication.

Currently, I lead AI/ML research operations at Eye Interaction Ltd (UK, remote), where I oversee 22+ concurrent research engagements, architect deep learning pipelines for healthcare and accessibility domains, and serve as primary speaker for global innovation award programs. I am actively pursuing international research positions, PhD collaborations, and global AI development opportunities.
