AI Researcher & Co-Investigator
Jul 2025-Present
Pakistan (Remote)
Promoted from Research Associate to AI Researcher and Co-Investigator within months of joining, in recognition of independent research capability and consistent contribution to the lab's publication pipeline (A* conferences and top-tier IEEE/ACM journals). Designing multi-frequency hierarchical learning frameworks that jointly address scalability, client heterogeneity, and catastrophic forgetting in federated settings. Developing a nested federated unlearning scheme enabling selective knowledge removal without full model retraining. Collaborating with researchers ranked in the top 2% globally based on citation impact; co-authors span the UK, US, UAE, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.

AI Research Engineer
Feb 2025-Jun 2025
Government of Pakistan
Contributed to the design and development of Pakistan's first AI-powered Security Operations Centre (SOC) toolset, a strategically critical initiative for deployment across all governmental organizations, designed to autonomously process and triage 25 million+ logs per day. Designed an end-to-end AI-powered SIEM pipeline from large-scale log ingestion through LLM-based threat classification to automated alert routing, replacing manual SOC Level 1 analyst operations at national scale. Recognised as the youngest engineer selected for Pakistan's National AI Research Team.
