Experience
AI Software Engineer — Anomaly Detection (Master's Thesis)
BMW AG · Munich, Germany
- ·Architected a 5-layer AI anomaly detection framework — combining Anomaly Transformer, Isolation Forest, and Bayesian Laplace uncertainty quantification — to catch real-time signal faults across multi-ECU CAN/CAN-FD bus communication (BMU ↔ CCU)
- ·Built streaming ETL pipelines processing 180+ GB of raw vehicular CAN traces (.blf, .mf4) with Python, Apache Parquet, and DuckDB — without memory bottlenecks
- ·Applied post-hoc Bayesian Laplace approximation for per-window uncertainty estimation, enabling automated triage between known faults and novel out-of-distribution anomalies
Working Student — Early-Phase Vehicle Concepts
BMW AG · Munich, Germany
- ·Built web/desktop dashboards for real-time 3D visualization of UWB and CAN bus signals, including human skeleton tracking and video-stream sync for car door/trunk intention testing
- ·Programmed C++ embedded software for simulated crash detection, triggering battery disconnection and door-unlock safety logic within 50ms — beating the 70ms target
- ·Built automated data pipelines for vehicle measurement conversion (MF4 → .npz) and test-drive data processing
Working Student — Computer Vision & AI Research
TH Nürnberg — Ohm-AI Lab · Nuremberg, Germany
- ·Built a multi-modal AI framework using Vision LLMs, YOLO derivatives (Faster/Mask R-CNN, Ultralytics), OCR, and PyTorch to extract fitness activity, calorie, and heart-health metrics from screenshots
- ·Fine-tuned object detection and document-structure models, achieving 92% accuracy on heterogeneous fitness-app screenshot layouts (Adidas & Samsung Health)
Software Engineer
Koderlabs · Remote, Pakistan
- ·Architected scalable REST and GraphQL APIs with Node.js (NestJS, Express), C# (.NET), and TypeORM/Prisma across multi-tenant web and mobile platforms
- ·Managed AWS cloud infrastructure and automated CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, Heroku), maintaining 99.9% uptime across production PostgreSQL/MongoDB databases
- ·Built chatbots with Python and Quickchat; led delivery of AnyWhere Yours, Look Who's Outdoors, and Contactly platforms
Full-Stack Engineer
Saasfa · Remote, Pakistan
- ·Developed applications and GraphQL/REST APIs using PHP (Laravel, Lumen, CodeIgniter) with React.js and Vue.js frontends
- ·Managed SQL/NoSQL databases and CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket → Heroku, AWS, GCP) ensuring reliable, efficient production support
- ·Delivered BionicWP, Flyadeal, Comvita, and Instructors Dash — shipping cart & payment flows, Stripe subscription billing, multilingual support, video player upgrades, and automated end-to-end/unit tests
