Computer Science Graduate | Software Engineering & Intelligent Systems
Profile
I hold 18 years of education in computing and related fields, supported by academic research and professional experience in software development. My Master's thesis focused on applying machine learning techniques to Parkinson's disease prediction using handwriting kinematics. In parallel with my studies, I have developed scalable web applications and AI-integrated systems for international clients. I aim to further strengthen my expertise in advanced computing, cloud systems, and intelligent software through postgraduate study.

Research Work
Prediction of Parkinson's Disease Using Machine Learning
Applied machine learning concepts including supervised learning, feature engineering, and model evaluation techniques.
- Machine learning pipeline for classification using handwriting movement–related features, with data preparation and baseline comparisons appropriate to master's-level research.
- Healthcare-motivated prediction in a non-clinical academic context: use of non-invasive digital signals as a complement to clinical assessment (thesis scope, not a commercial medical product).
- Experimental design, metrics under data constraints, and discussion of generalisation and responsible use of predictive models.
Professional Experience
Freelance Full-Stack Software Engineer
International clients — remote software engineering contracts (2018 – Present)
- Delivered software projects for organisations in the UAE, United States, United Kingdom, and Europe: SaaS products, internal dashboards, and custom applications with maintainable code and documented APIs where required.
- End-to-end systems with JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Next.js, Node.js, Express) and Python (FastAPI); REST API design, authentication, and role-based access for multi-user products.
- Integration of AI features (e.g. conversational assistants, content automation) via LLM APIs and application-level constraints per domain requirements.
- E-commerce implementations on Shopify and WooCommerce: catalogue structure, extensions where needed, and secure payment configuration.
- Deployment on cloud platforms (AWS, DigitalOcean, Vercel); performance tuning, caching, and technical adjustments for load times and structured content.
- Maintained long-term client relationships and delivered solutions aligned with both business and technical requirements.
