Hire the Best Computer Vision Engineers
Karachi, Pakistan
Most Machine Vision projects fail between the prototype and production. I've shipped 54+ that didn't. ⚙️YOLO Detection | Pose Estimation | Object Tracking | AI Agents | LLM Integration Sports & Fitness AI | CCTV & Surveillance AI | Retail AI | Healthcare AI You have a working concept... or a clear problem involving cameras, video, or image data. The challenge is making it fast, accurate, and stable under real-world conditions. Wrong framework choices. Inference too slow for live video. Models that break the moment lighting, angle, or environment changes. And systems that detect things but can't reason about them or act on them autonomously. That's exactly where most builds stall. I design and build real-time computer vision pipelines that go all the way... from model training to live deployment... and increasingly, from visual perception to autonomous AI agents that understand, decide, and narrate. LLM APIs (OpenAI, GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude) | AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda) | Azure Cloud Services | MLOps & API Integration | Model Deployment & Scaling While most CV engineers stop at training the model, I go further: → High-speed inference optimization using TensorRT, ONNX, OpenVINO, FP16/INT8 (up to 5× faster) → LLM agents integrated with vision pipelines for alerts, reasoning, and automation → Mobile AI deployment using Core ML (iOS) and TFLite (Android) with 10+ shipped apps → Edge AI deployment on Jetson, OpenVINO, CUDA, and embedded systems → End-to-end pipelines: data → training → optimization → real-time deployment Key Accomplishments: ⭐ $5M+ revenue from AI solutions ⭐ 100+ computer vision systems delivered ⭐ Built and launched 2 SaaS products ⭐ Real-time sports AI (7+ sports, 15+ teams) ⭐ 10+ mobile AI apps (iOS Core ML, Android TFLite) ⭐ Production AI for surveillance, industrial & safety use cases ⭐ Medical imaging AI deployed in 5+ hospitals ⭐ Up to 5× faster inference (ONNX, TensorRT, FP16/INT8) ⭐ Large-scale tracking & re-ID (1M+ labeled data) ⭐ Agentic AI systems for autonomous decision-making If you have read this far, please note that I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me. Personally, it’s been an amazing journey and knowledge exercise to get to this level of competence in AI and software development. Domain Expertise: ✅ athlete tracking | shot detection | scoring | drill analysis | pose estimation ✅ defect inspection | PPE compliance | staff monitoring | meter reading | quality control ✅ ANPR | crowd monitoring | people counting | intrusion detection | perimeter security ✅ tumor detection | ultrasound | X-ray/CT analysis | lesion segmentation | medical imaging ✅ aerial monitoring | traffic flow | license plate recognition | vehicle & accident detection ✅ customer analytics | receipt extraction | shelf monitoring | inventory tracking Tech Stack: YOLOv5–YOLOv8–YOLOv11, Detectron2, MMDetection, DeepSORT, StrongSORT, MediaPipe, OpenPose, Pose Estimation, Action Recognition, Segmentation (semantic & instance), OCR, anomaly detection, object tracking, PyTorch, TensorFlow, TFLite, Core ML, OpenCV, FastAPI, Flask, ONNX, TensorRT, OpenVINO, CUDA, AWS, Azure, GCP, edge AI, mobile AI, real-time inference, video analytics, AI automation, LLM integration (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Groq), LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, RAG systems. 💬 If your project involves cameras, video, or images... and you need it fast, accurate, fully deployed, and intelligent enough to reason and act autonomously... I am the engineer you are looking for.

Most computer vision projects fail not in training — but in deployment. Models that hit 95% accuracy in the lab break down when lighting shifts, hardware stutters, or the camera feed isn't clean. I build systems engineered to survive those conditions — and I've done it across industries, hardware platforms, and deployment environments. I'm a Computer Vision Engineer specializing in end-to-end AI pipelines — from raw camera input to real-time inference, deployed on edge hardware, cloud APIs, or both. ━━ Core services ━━ → Object detection & multi-object tracking — YOLOv8, YOLOv5, ByteTrack, BOTSort, MMDetection → Segmentation, pose estimation & keypoints — MediaPipe, custom model architectures → Edge AI deployment — NVIDIA Jetson Orin/Nano, Raspberry Pi, Hailo — TensorRT, ONNX, INT8/FP16 → Cloud & API deployment — FastAPI, Docker, AWS GPU instances, REST & WebSocket inference APIs → Video analytics & smart camera systems — safety monitoring, defect detection, zone tracking, people counting ━━ Systems I've shipped ━━ ✓ Real-time fall detection on NVIDIA Jetson — production-deployed, sub-100ms latency ✓ Zone-based people tracking & monitoring for safety-critical environments ✓ Industrial defect detection pipeline — TensorRT-optimized, running on constrained edge hardware ✓ End-to-end smart camera system: camera → inference → dashboard & real-time alerts ✓ OpenCV video analytics pipelines with custom pre/post-processing and business logic ━━ What makes my work different ━━ Most CV engineers deliver a model file. I deliver a working system — optimized, integrated, and running reliably in your environment. I lead a small team and personally own system architecture, optimization strategy, and core AI engineering on every project. You get senior-level technical execution, not delegation to juniors. Edge or cloud. Jetson or GPU server. Prototype or production scale. I've built across all of it. ━━ How a typical project runs ━━ 1. Discovery — review your hardware targets, data sources, and latency requirements before any code is written 2. Architecture — design the full pipeline: model selection, optimization path, deployment stack, integration points 3. Build & optimize — iterative development with benchmarked FPS and accuracy metrics at each stage 4. Deployment — containerized, documented, and running on your target environment 5. Handover — clean codebase, inline documentation, and a session so your team can maintain it independently ━━ Full tech stack ━━ Models: YOLOv8, YOLOv5, YOLOv7, MMDetection, Detectron2, PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX Runtime Tracking: ByteTrack, BOTSort, DeepSORT, StrongSORT, custom zone logic & counting algorithms Optimization: TensorRT INT8/FP16, ONNX quantization, model pruning, batch inference tuning Edge hardware: NVIDIA Jetson Orin/Nano, Raspberry Pi 4/5, Hailo-8, Coral TPU Cloud & infra: FastAPI, Flask, Docker, AWS EC2/Lambda, GCP, RTSP/RTMP stream processing Vision utilities: OpenCV, FFmpeg, GStreamer, PIL/Pillow, custom pipeline components ━━ Project types I take on ━━ → Greenfield CV systems — full pipeline from scratch to production deployment → Model optimization — take an existing model and make it production-fast on your hardware → Edge porting — migrate a cloud-based CV system to Jetson, Raspberry Pi, or Hailo → Pipeline debugging — diagnose and fix latency, accuracy, or stability issues in live systems → Inference API — wrap your CV model as a scalable, low-latency REST or WebSocket API → PoC → production — take a working demo and harden it for real-world deployment at scale → Team augmentation — embedded senior CV engineer for sprints or longer-term engagements ━━ Industries served ━━ Manufacturing & quality control — defect detection, visual inspection, production line monitoring Safety & security — real-time threat detection, perimeter monitoring, crowd analytics Retail & logistics — shelf analytics, people counting, queue management, warehouse tracking Healthcare — patient monitoring support systems, lab automation, medical imaging pipelines Agriculture — crop health detection, drone-based aerial inspection, field monitoring systems ━━ Common questions ━━ Work with our existing dataset? Yes — I assess quality, recommend augmentation strategies, and fine-tune models on your labeled data. Edge or cloud deployment? Both — Jetson, Raspberry Pi, and Hailo at the edge; AWS GPU instances and containerized APIs in the cloud. Can you take our prototype to production? That's one of my most common engagements — hardening, optimizing, and deploying existing concepts for real-world reliability. Documentation and handover included? Always. Clean code, inline comments, deployment instructions, and a dedicated handover session on every project. If you need computer vision that performs beyond lab conditions — on real hardware, with real data, in real-world environments — let's talk.
