Overview

I am a graduate student in Computing Science at the University of Alberta, working with Dr. Martha White on reinforcement learning research as part of the RLAI Lab and Amii. I hold a BE in Software Engineering from NUST, where I completed my Final Year Project with Dr. Faisal Shafait at the TUKL Lab.

My research interests focus on deep reinforcement learning, LLM post-training, and continual learning. I also have prior experience working on computer vision and NLP systems, with applications in generative AI, diffusion models, LLMs, RAG pipelines, and multi-modal agent systems.
