Six years ago I wrote my first Angular component. Today I'm designing deep learning architectures, training CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, and Transformers with TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch, running NLP and computer vision pipelines in Python, deploying ML models into production inference APIs, and shipping the Mapbox dashboards that make all of it usable for real users. Full-stack engineering, data science, deep learning, and geospatial intelligence — one connected skill set, not four separate services.
My current role is at Farmdar, a precision agriculture platform where this plays out at scale every day. I manage Apache Airflow workflows that orchestrate Sentinel-2 satellite imagery processing, build NDVI-based crop stress classifiers using Python, scikit-learn, and Pandas, optimize PostGIS and PostgreSQL spatial queries across large geospatial datasets, and deliver results through Mapbox GL JS and Cesium dashboards with GeoJSON, Leaflet, and remote sensing integrations. The Golang APIs connecting it all in production? I write those too.
When clients post for "deep learning engineer," "GeoAI developer," or "AI integration" — that's my day job, not something I learned on the side.

"High quality work, solved some complex problems." — Billboards America (520 hrs, PostGIS OOH advertising platform)
"Muhammad has become an important member of our team… the first I'll reach out to for any future project." — US SaaS client (1,346 hrs over 11 months, React + Node.js + AI data pipeline)
Full-stack: Angular v2–v19 is my deepest framework. Equally at home in React, Next.js, React Native, Node.js, NestJS, Express, and Golang, with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS on the frontend and REST and GraphQL APIs on the backend.
Data science and deep learning: Python, TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy — CNN architectures, RNNs, LSTMs, GRUs, Transformers (BERT, GPT-style), and GANs — from model design and training through fine-tuning and production deployment. NLP, computer vision, and generative AI are active areas of both my professional work and MS research.
Big data and infrastructure: Apache Airflow for pipeline orchestration, PostgreSQL/PostGIS for spatial data, GIS and remote sensing pipelines, geospatial data processing, vector tile servers, AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS), and Google Cloud Run.
I'm completing an MS in Data Science at PUCIT, with coursework covering deep learning, NLP, big data systems, and MLOps. My thesis is on GAN-based avatar generation for Pakistan Sign Language — generative AI solving a real problem in a country where no such system existed before. Not a side experiment. A full research project with working implementation.
What I build: GeoAI platforms and spatial data systems, deep learning and computer vision pipelines, NLP and Transformer integrations, end-to-end ML pipelines from raw data to deployed inference APIs, full-stack SaaS applications, and React Native mobile apps. What I skip: experiments that never leave a notebook, rush jobs that need corners cut, and projects where "AI" is just a label with no implementation behind it.
Message me — I'd like to hear what you're building.
