Experience

Summer intern

Computer Vision Lab (LUMS)Lahore, PakistaninternshipJun 2025 – Aug 2025

Summary

Developed a U-Net–based rain-aware preprocessing pipeline integrated with MegaDetector, using tunable confidence thresholds to improve animal detection performance under rainy conditions achieving almost 100 % false positives avoidance. Fine-tuned MegaDetector on the COD10K dataset to improve detection by ~5% in camouflaged animal images. Optimized the pipeline for deployment on remote edge devices for wildlife monitoring and alert systems by compressing the model to 16.58 Mbs

Results

  • Achieved almost 100% false positives avoidance in rainy conditions.
  • Improved detection by ~5% in camouflaged animal images.
  • Compressed model to 16.58 Mbs for edge deployment.

LUMS Academic Knowledge Assistant

Retrieval-Augmented Generation Developeracademic
Designed and implemented an end-to-end RAG system with data ingestion and retrieval pipelines using LangChain, ChromaDB, and BGE embeddings to process university documents. Integrated LLaMA 3.3 70B model for response generation with multi-turn dialogue, achieving sub-4-second query latency, containerized with Docker and deployed with a Streamlit frontend The web application makes the process of understanding university documents much easier by simply talking to a chatbot.

Kernel Based Image Deblurring

Senior Project Leadacademic
Researched and implemented kernel-based image deraining techniques to improve object detection under adverse weather conditions. Modeled rain streaks as convolution kernels and tackled deraining as a convolution/deconvolution problem, using a multi-module pipeline and a mix of AI and computer vision strategies for increased efficiency

Llama 3.1_8b Compression

AI on Edge Devices Developeracademic
Applied multiple pruning, quantization and outlier suppression techniques to the Llama 3.1 8B model. Utilized llama.cpp library and successfully compressed the model down to ~8% with minimal quality loss and deployed the inference-ready compressed model on Raspberry Pi 5
