Campus Event Discovery - Software Engineering

Scrum Master

Gained hands-on experience with full-stack Android development by building a LUMS event management app with Stripe payment integration, QR-based ticketing, and ZXing-powered check-in scanning — learning how real-world payment pipelines and approval workflows are architected end-to-end. Developed a deeper understanding of asynchronous programming and Agile/Scrum practices by implementing an SOS geolocation alert system using parallelized Firebase reads, atomic batch writes, and FCM push notifications across a 5-person team.

Mashal - Job Matching Platform - Human Computer Interaction

UX Researcher & Designer

Learned to manage 4 distinct stakeholder groups through 18 semi-structured interviews, translating conflicting user needs into a cohesive 60+ screen bilingual Figma prototype — developing skills in user research, synthesis, and accessibility-first design for low-literacy audiences. Applied think-aloud protocol, Likert questionnaires, and screen recording across 20 usability test participants, achieving 4.27/5 mean usability and 100% task completion — learning how to close the gap between design intent and real user behaviour.

RAG Agent For Lawyers - Generative AI

AI Engineer

Learned to architect a complete Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline — from document ingestion and vector database indexing to semantic search and context-aware generation — gaining practical understanding of how grounding reduces LLM hallucinations in high-stakes domains. Developed skills in prompt engineering and retrieval optimization using LangChain, learning how retrieval logic and prompt design jointly determine response quality in domain-specific legal query systems.

Early Forest Fire Detection - Deep Learning

Deep Learning Engineer

Learned to design and evaluate vision-language hybrid architectures by fusing CLIP global embeddings into a YOLOv8n neck layer with identity initialization, gaining practical understanding of how pretrained representations can be adapted for domain-specific detection tasks. Developed rigorous experimental methodology through 12+ training runs and systematic ablations across lambda and alpha hyperparameters on a 21K-image benchmark, learning how to diagnose architectural failure modes through per-class performance analysis.

Pakiza - Transformer based Toxic Comment Detection - Natural Language Processing

NLP Developer

Learned to apply transfer learning to a low-resource, code-switched language by fine-tuning multilingual BERT embeddings on Roman Urdu data, gaining experience in adapting pretrained transformers to underrepresented linguistic contexts. Developed understanding of hierarchical classification pipelines by designing a two-stage architecture that first separates toxic from non-toxic content, then sub-classifies hate speech and racism as distinct categories.
