About

Dedicated software engineer bridging backend engineering, machine learning, data science, and generative AI into systems that ship in real production environments. Hands-on experience designing data pipelines, building AI-powered applications, automating workflows, and delivering cross-platform integrations.

Built REST APIs and full-stack platforms used under production load, including video scoring and transformation services (OCR, face detection, YOLO), custom CUD A-accelerated vehicle damage and repair cost estimation, and RAG-based chat systems. Also delivered scalable NLP improvements with modular services and CI/CD to ship integrations quickly.

Freelance Software Engineer / MLE Engineer · IndependentFeb 2026 – Present · 10 mos

Built an adaptive video conversion scoring platform (FastAPI service) that scores source video quality using OCR, ASR, face detection, and YOLO tracking. Implemented auto-cropping into multiple social-media variants with dynamic cropping, language dubbing, and subtitle generation. Developed a vehicle classification and damage detection system for a Saudi Arabian market client using a custom CUDA-trained model to classify car make/model, detect damage, and generate repair cost estimates. Delivered as a FastAPI service for integration in downstream applications.

Freelance Software Engineer / MLE Engineer · Independent (remote client work)Feb 2026 – Present · 10 mos

Delivered an adaptive video conversion scoring platform via FastAPI. Scored source video quality using OCR, ASR, face detection, and YOLO tracking, then auto-cropped into multiple social-media variants with dynamic cropping, language dubbing, and subtitle generation. Built a vehicle classification and damage detection system for a Saudi Arabian market client using a custom CUDA-trained model to classify make/model, detect damage, and generate repair-cost estimates, served via FastAPI.

AI Software Developer / Part-Time · IntelliCore TechnologiesFeb 2024 – Dec 2025 · 1 yr 11 mos

Enabled scalable AI deployment by designing modular Python backend services, reducing integration effort by ~30%.
