About
After completing my bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, I pursued an M.S. in Data Science at FAST NUCES Karachi, graduating with a 4.0 CGPA. I then worked as an R&D Intern in the Big Data division at the State Bank of Pakistan. I'm currently a Research Assistant at FAST NUCES's FRSG Lab, where I'm working on an AI-enhanced adaptive learning project for special needs education.
