Professional Experience

Data Scientist

GamaLearn · May 2025 to May 2026

Designed, experimented with, and deployed data-driven solutions tailored to business needs.

Deep Learning Researcher

NYU Abu Dhabi eBrain Lab, under Prof. Muhammad Shafique

Built end-to-end data pipelines for a mixed-precision quantization framework, enabling efficient experimentation and clear interpretation of results, then used the pipeline to optimize frameworks for quantizing and pruning machine learning models.

Full-Stack Web Developer

Gantom Lighting & Controls

FastAPI and Django on the back-end, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, Firestore and PostgreSQL for storage, Google Cloud Platform and Docker for deployment, React on the front-end. Collaborated across technical, design, and customer support teams.

Open Source

Free, open-source app for beginners to learn programming with Godot's GDScript language.

Open-source OSINT solution for obtaining threat-intelligence data.

Mixed-precision quantization framework. I maintain an extended fork.

Teaching and Community Contributions

I made animations using Python to aid in teaching math/CS concepts, and I taught as a tutor at Schoolhouse.

An electric-pulse effect I built with my Python animation engine. More educational content on my YouTube channel.
