👨🏻‍🔬 Professional Experience

Currently, I am working as a Deep Learning Researcher at NYU Abu Dhabi under Prof. Muhammad Shafique working on a mixed precision Quantization framework.

I have prior experience working as a Full-Stack Web Developer using FastAPI and Django for the back-end, Github Actions for CI/CD, Firestore and PostgreSQL for data storing, Google Cloud Platform and Docker for deployment, and React for Front-end.

🤖 Open Source

• I contributed to Learn GDScript, a free and open-source app for beginners to learn programming with Godot’s GDScript language.
• I contributed to IntelOwl, an open-source OSINT solution to obtain threat intelligence data.
• I have worked with and extended HAQ, an open-source mixed precision quantization framework.

📚 Teaching and Community Contributions

I made animations using Python to aid in teaching math/CS concepts. I have a YouTube channel where I publish educational content. I also taught as a tutor at Schoolhouse.
