Work Experience

Freelance Software Engineer / MLE Engineer at Independent
February 1, 2026 - Present
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.
