Huawei Noah's Ark Lab

Joining Noah's Ark Lab for an 8-month co-op as a Research Co-op focused on machine learning and computer vision. More here once I start.

Wat Street (Datastream)

I'm one of three engineers building Datastream, a distributed time-series platform for Wat Street, Waterloo's quantitative finance design team (~40 members). Before Datastream, every project on the team pulled market data through its own ad-hoc yfinance scripts. We're replacing that with a single ingestion and serving layer that 5+ downstream projects query instead. I work across the stack: FastAPI services, Postgres storage, the Svelte frontend, and Docker deployment.

Mannai Corporation

I deployed a private cloud from nothing: two bare-metal Oracle servers to a working VMware alternative (Platform9 PCD on k3s + OpenStack) with a self-service dashboard where internal teams provision their own VMs, networks, and storage.

"From nothing" meaning the first server didn't even boot cleanly. I traced a misleading I/O error to a missing MegaRAID logical volume, rebuilt the array from 6 drives, and stood up Ubuntu, KVM, and OpenStack on top. Later, when every HTTPS request from every tenant VM started dying, I chased a TLS handshake failure down to a blanket DNAT rule misrouting port 443 return traffic. I also built a custom Ubuntu + Kubernetes image with Cluster API tooling for on-demand cluster provisioning, and onboarded a second server (768 GB RAM) that refused every normal install path until I served the ISO over NFS as a virtual CD-ROM from the first machine.

UW Management Consulting Case Competition

Reached the semifinals with a $1B ESG capital-allocation framework for Saudi Aramco, modelling ~1.5 MtCO₂e/year verified abatement within 36 months at a ~16% portfolio IRR. Conducted primary research via Bloomberg Terminals and IEA net-zero pathways; built a MAC curve with 10-year NPV sensitivity benchmarked against EU ETS. Defended to judges from McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, and KPMG.

Google Build with AI Case Competition

Built NeuroAdapt · an AI exam prep platform that reframes learning as a diagnostic problem. Classifies mistakes as conceptual, procedural, computational, or fatigue-driven to isolate exact prerequisite gaps. Each mechanism is grounded in peer-reviewed cognitive science: Bjork's New Theory of Disuse, Kapur's productive failure (d = 0.6–2.3), and Gollwitzer & Sheeran's implementation-intentions meta-analysis. Defended to Google engineers and case judges.

DDC × Ignition Hacks 2026

Led a 4-person team to build Urban Marble · an AI-powered 3D city exploration platform. Features a mobile-first AR building scanner (live webcam frames + GPS → GPT-4o Vision → architectural metadata), a cinematic story pipeline (GPT-4o-mini narration + DALL-E 3 imagery + Google Street View + OpenAI TTS, all parallelised under 10s), and a 400+ rental listings aggregator across NYC and Toronto. Built on a CesiumJS 3D globe with OSM Buildings geometry.

Hack Canada 2026

Built PulmoScan · an ML-powered lung disease detection and 3D visualisation platform from raw DICOM CT scans. Engineered a dual-track pipeline combining Otsu thresholding with a fine-tuned EfficientNet-B0 classifier and Grad-CAM heatmaps, paired with an interactive VTK.js 3D lung viewer using marching cubes surface extraction. Named finalist for Most Technically Complex Hack and currently advancing to Google's startup funding track.

Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority (QFCRA)

Built a Graph-RAG intelligence system (FastAPI, PostgreSQL + pgvector, Gemini 2.5-flash) for semantic retrieval across 80+ regulatory and geopolitical events, enabling natural-language supervisory queries with inline source citations. Developed a news monitoring pipeline tracking 60+ financial entities and their related parties across 8 data sources with automated risk classification across 8 taxonomies, cutting signal identification from hours to minutes. Enhanced Tableau dashboards consolidating risk indicators across 60+ QFCRA-authorised entities, reducing monthly/quarterly prudential return review time by ~70%.

University of Waterloo

Studying CS with a focus on algorithms, machine learning, and systems programming. Holder of the Faculty of Mathematics Global Scholarship ($15k CAD) and the President's Scholarship of Distinction ($2k CAD).

ICPC National Champion

Won 1st place among 300+ participants in Qatar, scoring equivalent to the 2nd-place university-category team. Advanced to the regional Arab Collegiate Programming Contest (ACPC). Featured in the Gulf Times.

Core Organiser · DPS Hackathon

Designed and led the school's inaugural inter-school hackathon with 100+ participants, fostering collaboration and innovation in STEM fields. Brought in Cisco professionals as judges. Featured in the Gulf Times.

Alice3 Game Dev Competition Finalist

Reached the final level of the Alice Programming Competition held at Carnegie Mellon University Qatar, competing against 80+ teams. Developed skills in 3D animation and event-driven game programming.

Zonal Computing Olympiad (ZCO)

Obtained a top-100 finish in the first stage of the Indian Computing Olympiad, qualifying through the Zonal Computing Olympiad round.

Cisco Python Certifications

Completed Cisco's official Python Programming certifications (Python Essentials 1 and 2) through the Skills for All programme.

High School Olympiad Medals

Earned multiple medals across STEM olympiads organised by Silverzone and SOF (Science Olympiad Foundation) throughout high school, competing across subjects including Mathematics, Science, and English at school, regional, and international levels.
