Helping build software for US-based clientele in the Generative AI domain to enhance user productivity.

Responsible for the development of in-house cybersecurity related software tooling Working primarily on adding features to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution forked from the open-source product AlienVault OSSIMInvestigating the SIEM’s correlation engine (written in C), evaluating performance bottlenecks, and debugging memory leaks

Responsible for the development, maintenance, and deployment of python/Django based web applications (frontend and backend), as well as embedded C/C++ firmware for IoT products in the agricultural sectorRefactored, tested, and wrote algorithms responsible for crop irrigation scheduling decisionsLed testing sprints for ensuring the quality of products (both hardware and software)Mentored junior developers and communicated with clients for analysis of requirements or presentations

Responsible for writing testable python code for various in-house raspberry pi based IoT projects.Worked on exception handling and implementation of rotating logs for convenient observation of threaded python code. Honed my debugging skills through these observations, and made major bug-fixes in test phases that spanned multiple weeks.Implemented unit tests for python code using pytest, and created useful scripts to aid QC in running routine procedures and validation tests.Refactored legacy code in compliance with PEP-8 guidelines and implemented multi-threaded architecture that is easily re-usable and configurable for different projects with similar requirements.Automated deployment of applications on linux using bash/shell scripts for installing dependencies and setting up environments.Used PyInstaller to package python applications into OS-specific (raspbian-stretch) executables. Also used docker with docker-compose to containerize the same applications along with their services and evaluated which solution offers better deployment and scalability. Used Git and Bitbucket for version control.Used Silicon Labs Mighty Gecko kits with their Simplicity Studio IDE to build example MCU/Zigbee applications in C for custom PCBs (minor role) Learned about electronics communication protocols used to interface peripherals/hardware such as SPI, I2C, Modbus, UART, USART, along with networking protocols such as Zigbee, MQTT, HTTP, SSH and WebSockets.Note: All tasks were completed under the guidance of my superb employers, namely Talha bhai, Uzair bhai and Faisal bhai and of course with the team work and help offered by my colleagues.

Built and tested basic embedded electronics projects such as:3x3x3 LED Cube.LED dot matrix animations using shift registers. Programmed Arduino variants in C++ and interfaced peripherals like piezo buzzers, temperature, and humidity sensors.Used ESP8266 for building basic WiFi-controlled component projects (LEDs, sensors, etc)Designed a PCB for an LED dot matrix project using KiCAD.Learned about embedded systems, robotics, STEM/STEAM education, makerspaces, and startup culture in a casual, upbeat, and dedicated environment.All projects were completed under the mentorship of Sir Zaid Pirwani for which I will forever be grateful, also shout out to Sir Nasir Jumani for his sound ideas on time management and planning, my time here was delightful and highly productive!
