Experience

Data Analysis Intern

Japan International Cooperation Agencyinternship2026 – Mar 2026

Summary

Performed data cleaning, preprocessing, and EDA on education and socioeconomic datasets to support evidence-based policy recommendations. Applied statistical analysis and data visualization to identify trends, generating insights and visual summaries that informed project decision-making. Contributed to analytical reports and presentations delivered to project stakeholders to support data-driven planning.

Results

  • Authored the analysis and visual summaries for the national Non-Formal Education (NFE) Report 2024–25.
  • Produced the 'What Keeps Children Out of School' report, identifying that a mother's education and employment were significantly associated with child enrollment.
  • Conducted descriptive statistics, crosstabs with chi-square tests, and t-tests on national survey data to identify drivers of school dropout rates.
  • Analyzed annual data tables covering over 30,000 NFE centres, 34,000 teachers, and 1.2 million learners.
  • Processed enrollment trends dating back to 2019–20.
  • Analyzed a national survey dataset of 500 respondents across 10 districts and Islamabad.

Projects

Gendered Micro-Aggressions Detection

Developeracademic
Built text classification pipelines using TF-IDF + Logistic Regression and XLM-RoBERTa on ~20,000 samples to detect explicit and implicit gendered microaggressions, improving accuracy from 88.35% to 92.6% with the transformer model. Mitigated severe class imbalance (11,822 non-sexist vs. 1,809 sexist examples) through oversampling and class weighting, significantly boosting minority class recall for subtle harmful content detection. Extended to a cross-lingual Urdu setting using Helsinki-NLP translation; TF-IDF baseline achieved 81.5% accuracy while transformer-based cross-lingual transfer revealed instability (73%), highlighting generalization challenges for low-resource languages.

O-Level Vault - AI-Powered Exam Prep Platform

Full-stack Developerpersonal
Identified a gap in O-Level exam resources and built a full-stack web platform using React where students can browse past papers and attempt AI-generated quizzes tailored by subject and topic. Built web scraping pipelines to collect and structure past-paper data, then trained a Hugging Face transformer model for dynamic quiz generation - removing dependence on manual content curation. Designed role-based access control for students, parents, and admins, enabling personalized progress tracking and structured content management for admins.

ArchConnect - Collaborative Architecture Platform

Developerpersonal
Developed a real-time collaboration platform for architects, clients, and vendors using Flutter, Node.js, and MongoDB, containerized with Docker Compose and deployed on Vercel - streamlining coordination across roles. Designed AWS S3 document storage with folder-level visibility inheritance, so each stakeholder only sees what they need - securing sensitive project files without manual permission management. Implemented Google OAuth and REST API authentication alongside a real-time notification system, enabling secure login across user types and timely updates throughout the multi-user platform.

AI-Powered News Summarization & Retrieval System

Developerpersonal
Addressed information overload by building an AI-powered news platform using Python, Streamlit, Ollama, and Hugging Face embeddings that aggregates articles from multiple sources and generates concise, unified event summaries. Built an interactive RAG pipeline with semantic search, vector embeddings, cosine-similarity retrieval, and clustering, enabling users to query daily news and receive context-grounded responses. Implemented real-time RSS ingestion, article deduplication, caching, background refresh, and top-story detection to ensure users always see fresh and relevant news.

LLM-Powered RAG Chatbot with LangChain & Agentic Workflows

Developerpersonal
Designed a LangChain-based application using LCEL with modular pipelines for summarization, sentiment analysis, and report generation - enabling a single system to handle diverse NLP tasks with task-specific processing. Implemented and compared standard RAG, RAG-Fusion, and dynamic chain routing to address irrelevant context retrieval, improving response relevance by directing queries to the most appropriate retrieval strategy. Extended the system into a fully interactive assistant by developing an agent-powered chatbot with tool/function calling and a Streamlit interface, enabling real-time responses, external API usage, and memory across a conversation.
