👨🏻‍🔬 Professional Experience

Currently, I am a Data Science Intern at GamaLearn, focused on designing, experimenting with, and deploying data-driven solutions tailored to business needs.

My prior work experience:

• Deep Learning Researcher at NYU Abu Dhabi’s eBrain lab under the mentorship of Prof. Muhammad Shafique working on a mixed precision Quantization framework. I created end-to-end data pipelines to enable efficient experimentation and clear interpretation of results. I used this pipeline to optimize frameworks for Quantizing and Pruning machine learning models.
• Full-Stack Web Developer at Gantom Lighting & Controls using FastAPI and Django for the back-end, Github Actions for CI/CD, Firestore and PostgreSQL for data storage, Google Cloud Platform and Docker for deployment, and React for Front-end. This role required me to collaborate with technical, design, and customer support teams.

📚 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.
