University of central florida

Computer Vision Researcher

Jan 2017Jan 2018 · 1 yr · Greater Orlando

  • Went for 0-100. From knowing nothing about deep learning to developing a model that competed with Google Brain. Big shoutout to my mentor Kishan. Without whom I'd be trash.
  • Worked on the task of end-to-end learn for self driving cars and in the process developed a novel model that utilized side task learning, saliency detection, and object detection. Built + trained model on the CommaAI dataset and achieved results that beat NVIDIAs released model.

General dynamics mission systems

Software Engineer

Jan 2017Jan 2017 · 0 mo · Orlando

  • Biggest mistake ever. Idk what I was thinking. Did basically nothing here to be perfectly honest. After a few emails, most people were checked out. But my parents were proud of me. Ended up getting fired because I was taking Snapchats in the high-security office 😂.

Sightplan

Software Engineer

Jan 2016Jan 2017 · 1 yr · Orlando, Florida

  • SightPlan was a small startup (around 18 people) and it was also my first tech type job ever. In all honesty, I hated that year. Was terrible. But, no shade to SightPlan they were cool -- I learned that I just didn't do well in a job.

Solomid corporation

Software Engineer

Jan 2016Jan 2016 · 0 mo

  • Worked directly with TSM coaches/analysts to develop an API that aggregated various types of micro data from professional League of Legends games. Access to this data was virtually impossible via any pre existing API or technology due to the fact that the company who made the game simply doesn’t allow mainstream access to it.

Amazon

Customer Service

Jan 2015Jan 2015 · 0 mo · Orlando, Florida

  • My only "job" I ever liked. Gave people refunds and people screamed at me sometimes but I always made them best buddies by the end.

Tele squad

Co-Founder

Jan 2011Jan 2013 · 2 yrs · Miami, Florida

  • Started a company with my cousins selling t-shirts. Basically, I'd hire artists to make designs that were "in". For example, if Breaking Bad was getting hype we'd create a Breaking Bad design and the start selling the shirt in a day. Pretty successfully venture. Stopped because I got bored.

Sabiha enterprises

Founder

Jan 2010Jan 2015 · 5 yrs · Pembroke Pines, FL

  • Started a company that sold blank DVDs on eBay and Amazon. Brought in around $125k in gross revenue on a good year which means I was making more than my teachers (weird flex but ok).
  • Became a top-seller on eBay with up to 600 orders a month. Did everything myself including: inventory, packing, shipping, customer service. GOOD ASS TIMES U FEEL.
