About Me

Here we go again...

I'm currently a Machine Learning Scientist at General Electric, where I work at the intersection of Energy & AI. I graduated with a joint degree in AI & Mathematics from the University of Edinburgh, during which I had the honor of leading the AI Society for one year. Born in Germany, I spent the first 14 years of my life in a small city near Frankfurt before relocating to Lahore, where I completed my A levels. At the age of 18, I embarked on my journey to Scotland. I'm passionate about open-source technology and its potential for business. I work with cutting-edge AI and share insights on AI and my open-source work through my blog.

    I am currently the tutor for the popular introductory machine learning course (IAML) taken by third year honours students at the school of informatics. The university of edinburgh is the sixth oldest university in the English-speaking world and one of Scotland's ancient universities. The school of Informatics is amongst the best in the UK and Europe.

    Core Developer

    Feb 2021 - Present

    I am currently working on an Open Optimization model of the African Transmission System. As part of my work I developed a no-sql python based Openstreetmap extractor which formed the basis of the project. G iven the poor quality of openly available data, we decided to detect transmission assets using satellite imagery and object detection. I'm also know as "the outlier" as I'm the only undergraduate student amongst a team of 12 PhD.

    President

    Academic Year - 2019/2020

    I was president of the machine learning student society at the University of Edinburgh. We organized events including a Datathon and the very popular We Need to Talk about AI series. The society was relatively new at that time, but grew substantially over the past years. It was during this time that I had to make key decisions that would determine the success of the society.
