Software Engineer Intern - Full-Stack Developer

QBatchFaisalabad, PKinternshipJul 2025 – Aug 2025

Summary

Developed and shipped production features using Next.js, React, Express.js, PostgreSQL, and REST APIs in a collaborative software engineering environment. Built and integrated reusable frontend components with backend services, ensuring reliable client-server communication. Implemented and consumed RESTful APIs with authentication, input validation, and structured request/response handling.

What I did

  • Handled API integration, database queries and persistence, and debugging across the frontend and backend boundary.
  • Ensured features behaved correctly across different application flows by validating data at the right boundaries.

Software Engineering Resident - AI & LLM Engineering

HeadstarterRemote, NYinternshipSep 2024 – Feb 2025

Summary

Built machine learning, AI-engineering, and full-stack projects across fast-paced software teams; implemented LLM chaining, hyperparameter tuning, and fine-tuning on 10+ LLM models, controlling for latency and accuracy. Coached by engineers from Google Machine Learning, Google Kubernetes, Two Sigma, Tesla, Figma, and Citadel.

What I did

  • Evaluated 10+ models to balance response quality against latency.
  • Compared different model configurations against the same evaluation cases to assess response quality, consistency, and latency.
  • Adjusted model configurations based on trade-offs between accuracy and inference latency.

Projects

DeepMed - AI Healthcare Platform

Team Leadacademic
Led a 3-person team building a voice-first AI healthcare platform end-to-end - REST APIs, MongoDB data models, and RBAC across 3 user roles. Architected the LLM pipeline converting patient conversations into clinical reports, cutting manual clinician review time by an estimated 40%, with zero data-consistency incidents in testing.
