  • Architected and deployed OpenClaw, a 24/7 AI publishing assistant on a hardened Hetzner VPS (Ubuntu 24.04) in Docker, integrating Anthropic Claude API with a Telegram bot; delivered all 27 Phase 1 deliverables in 3 days vs. a 2-week estimate.
  • Hardened the server end-to-end: Tailscale private networking, SSH key-only auth, UFW firewall, Fail2ban brute-force protection, non-root Docker user, zero credentials stored in config files.
  • Built Phase 2, 13 production features: Gmail + IONOS email read/reply via Telegram, voice-to-draft (OpenAI Whisper), OneDrive integration, catalogue intelligence over 1,085+ guides, royalty monitoring across 10 platforms, weekly trend reports, and daily morning briefings.

  • Conducted structured side-by-side evaluations of LLM outputs against the GHD quality benchmark, assessing accuracy, coherence, and factual integrity across hundreds of samples per week.
  • Performed systematic hallucination detection and fact-checking, documenting structured justifications for every evaluation decision to build a traceable audit trail for model improvement cycles.
  • Maintained strict daily output quotas in a high-throughput remote environment; developed rigorous QA instincts for identifying precisely where LLMs fail at domain-specific reasoning.

About Me

I'm an AI Engineer from Karachi with a focus on building real, production-grade AI systems, not just prototypes. My work spans LLM orchestration, ML pipelines, data analytics, and backend integration.

What sets me apart is an engineer's pragmatism combined with a researcher's curiosity. I've shipped AI products for Latvian e-commerce, a Las Vegas publishing house, and university departments, each with different constraints, each demanding a tailored solution.

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science (CGPA 3.53/4.0) from KIET and am fluent in English and Urdu. I'm open to international opportunities globally and welcome visa sponsorship.
