I learned AI from the fundamentals up, building a transformer from scratch before touching agent frameworks. These days I focus on the applied side: ML that ships inside real products and is adapted to the job it actually does.
AI/ML Software Engineering Intern at Tatari (Summer 2026). On the Media Intelligence (MINT) ML team, building production MLOps workflows that migrate ML models to Databricks serving endpoints using MLflow, with end-to-end inference logging and performance monitoring for scalable, observable deployment.
AI Education Product Tester at DeepLearning.AI - dogfooding pre-release AI products and course content. Previously AI Trainer, ML Specialist at Handshake AI (Frontier-Lab AI Fellowship, through June 2026).
Islamic Studies Instructor at Institute of Knowledge - teaching weekly to students across a wide age range. It keeps me fluent at explaining hard ideas simply, the same skill behind good docs, clear code, and applied AI that people can actually use.
Still seeking AI/ML and software engineering internships and new grad roles for Fall 2026 and beyond. Feel free to reach out!

| Project | Tech | Description | Demo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snaption | PyTorch, EfficientNet, Transformers | Image captioning model: EfficientNet encoder into a transformer decoder with cross-attention, trained on Flickr8k. Pip-installable, runs in about a second per image on CPU. | Demo |
| Pixelate | PyQt6, Firebase, OpenAI | Pixel-art editor with accessibility built in. Real-time colorblindness filters and Pixi, an AI assistant for drawing ideas and feedback. | Demo |
| Text2SQL LLaMA Analyst | LLaMA-2, LoRA, 4-bit Quantization | Fine-tuned LLaMA-2-7B with LoRA and 4-bit quantization to turn plain English into SQL queries you can actually run. | Demo |
| GPT From Scratch | PyTorch, Transformers | GPT built by hand. Self-attention, autoregressive decoding, no framework shortcuts. | Demo |
| bat-code (in progress) | Deep Agents, LangGraph | Batman-themed coding TUI built on the Deep Agents library. Turning a capable agent into a coding tool you actually want to keep open. | Soon |
When I'm not coding or teaching, I'm probably grabbing boba with friends, skating around campus, building a LEGO set, getting lost in a good book, or gaming cozily (Pokopia is my jam!).
