I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at the University of Engineering & Technology (UET), Lahore, passionate about building reliable backend systems and intelligent software powered by Artificial Intelligence.
My interests lie at the intersection of Software Engineering, Backend Development, AI Engineering, and Data-Driven Applications. I enjoy designing systems that emphasize clean architecture, maintainability, and practical problem solving rather than simply implementing features.
Over the past year, I've worked on projects ranging from RESTful APIs and full-stack web applications to graph-based routing systems, voice-controlled embedded solutions, and database-backed desktop applications. I'm currently strengthening my expertise through AI-focused internships while continuously expanding my knowledge of backend engineering, cloud technologies, and modern software development practices.
