About
Engineering, Education & Community Leadership
Building web applications, sharing technical knowledge, and helping others grow through teaching and community engagement.
I am an Information Technology graduate from Government College University Faisalabad, with experience building full-stack web applications.
I currently serve as a Section Leader for Stanford University's Code in Place X. I also contribute to the tech community as a trainer, guest speaker, webinar moderator, and volunteer instructor.
My projects span multilingual voice-based verification, automation platforms, and cost-optimised software systems. I have participated in national and international hackathons, led teams, and collaborated with technical communities to build practical solutions.

Projects
Academic and Hackathon Projects
Final-year, academic, and hackathon projects spanning AI applications, automation, and full-stack engineering.
AI Feature Kit
Modular AI platform that brings text-to-image, text-to-speech, voice conversion, summarisation and background removal into one interface. Built as the final-year project, each capability stays independent so a model or endpoint can be swapped without touching the rest of the app.
My Role: Final Year Project
Autovance AI
AI-powered automation platform combining email sending, secure webhook execution, cron scheduling and custom form actions in one dashboard. Built as the team's HEC Generative AI Cohort 3 entry, it adds an explainable-AI workflow builder presented as a research prototype with a dry-run preview, and reports provider failures honestly instead of claiming success.
My Role: Team Lead
VeriVoice
Voice-first multilingual verification assistant built for the UNESCO Youth Hackathon 2026. A voice-in, voice-out loop answers in Urdu, Spanish, Indonesian or English, while claim classification, evidence retrieval from institutional sources and citation guardrails keep answers tied to the retrieved sources. I built the audio visualizer, hands-free voice mode and the Evidence Drawer.
My Role: Frontend Developer
AMD Model Router
Resource-aware AI inference router built for Track 1 of the AMD Developer Hackathon. Deterministic solvers handle structured problems at zero token cost, a quantized local Qwen 2.5 3B model covers low-complexity tasks, and cloud escalation stays limited to an allow-list. Token ceilings and timeouts keep runs inside a 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, GPU-free container.
HireGen AI
Recruitment platform that auto-generates interview questions, scores candidate responses and produces hiring reports. Led the team that delivered it for HEC Generative AI Cohort 2, giving hiring teams a consistent, repeatable technical interview and scoring flow.
My Role: Team Lead
MIRA AI
Personal growth platform combining mood journaling, habit tracking and goal analytics, with JWT and Google OAuth authentication keeping each account's entries private to its owner.
University of Lakki Marwat Website Evaluation
Academic project for the Human-Computer Interaction mid-semester: a full heuristic and usability evaluation of the University of Lakki Marwat website, delivered as a written report and a presentation and assessed through Hirestive.
Maryam AI Portfolio
Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS portfolio with a built-in AI assistant and motion-driven UI. Designed as a live demonstration of the same full-stack and generative-AI stack used across the other projects.
Hackathons
National and International Hackathons
Participant and team lead across national and international AI and developer hackathons, with a top-25 finish at CodeSprint LA.
