01About

About

Full Stack Software Engineer with 3 years of professional experience building enterprise-grade web applications end-to-end – from Angular and React.js frontends to Java Spring Boot backends backed by MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. Skilled in designing RESTful APIs, relational and NoSQL database schemas, WebSocket integration, and role-based access control. Comfortable owning a feature across the whole stack – from UI architecture down to query performance and data modeling.

After completing a 6-month Data Science & AI certification at NUST covering machine learning, deep learning, data mining, and computer vision, I built small projects in object detection and facial expression recognition. I want to deepen this through graduate study and research in AI/ML, deep learning, computer vision, and related areas, bringing a strong engineering background to research problems.
