In trg, I worked as an AI engineer in the SATMAP AI team which deals with intelligent call routing and optimizing call center performance. My job largely dealt with data analysis and figuring out patterns in data. I made statistical models (based on huge amounts of data) which could then be used in routing best calls for agents.

During my stay at LUMS, I worked for 10 months in a leading research facility namely NEWT lab. I was part of a project that was aimed at developing a Bit Torrent client for developing countries.
