About Candidate

I am Ahmad Sarmad Ali, a dedicated Computer Science student at NUST-SEECS (CGPA 3.23/4.0) with a passion for cutting-edge technologies in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. With hands-on experience as a Deep Learning and Computer Vision Intern at SEECS and TUKL Lab, I have mastered tools like TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-learn, CV2, Numpy, and Matplotlib, delivering innovative solutions across diverse domains.

My expertise spans object detection and localization (e.g., YOLO-based fruit detection), facial recognition/analysis, knowledge distillation, federated learning/unlearning, and AI applications in agriculture and optical networks. Notable achievements include developing a CNN-based autoencoder for fruit shelf-life detection, implementing federated unlearning for document analysis (conference paper in progress for ICDAR-2024), and creating early warning systems for flooding using sensor data. I’ve also contributed to IEEE Access journal papers and worked on real-time face filter applications at Walee.

Skilled in Python, Java, and MySQL, with certifications in Deep Learning and Problem Solving, I bring a blend of technical proficiency and research-driven innovation. Whether it’s 3D modeling from images, transformer-based car wheel detection, or Grad-CAM visualization for CNNs, I deliver high-quality, tailored solutions. Let’s collaborate to turn your ideas into reality—first impressions matter, and I’m here to exceed your expectations!
