06.2020 - Current
- Automate crop scouting using deep learning and machine learning techniques by creating low-cost, high-resolution maps using potato plant anomaly detection and GPS location data
- Develop an imaging system that captures images using an RGB system mounted on the boom of a sprayer and GPS location data through the CAN BUS of a sprayer
- Real-time detection of Colorado potato beetles, weeds and potato plant diseases and anomalies from potato plant leaves using YOLOv7 and the Detectron2-FasterRCNN deep learning architectures
Team Lead and Senior Software Engineer
Yongatek Microelectronics

06.2020 - 11.2021
- Design and develop a real-time fish counter system using machine learning, deep learning algorithms, and a line scan camera. Captures images using a line scan camera on a fast-moving fish counter machine. Detects and counts fish using Random forest algorithm (features manually calculated) and YOLOv4 (custom trained) and Mask-RCNN (custom trained)
- Real-time auto object detection and tracking on visual and thermal camera streams using deep learning algorithms. Object detection using Yolov3 and Yolov4 (Pre trained on the coco dataset) and tracking using KALMAN filter
- GUI development in C#.net, QT C++ and python QT
- Development of Video and Image enhancement solutions (Atmospheric turbulence removal, auto-focus, de-blurring, sharpening, auto brightness)
- Conveyor Belt safety embedded system. Communicates and reads data from different sensors, including RFID, temperature, and vibration. Calculates the number of intervals per interval on the OrangePi and Rpi-zero embedded device. Transfers and displays data to the web server.
- Established open and professional relationships with team members to achieve quick resolutions for various issues.

Team Lead (Imaging Software)
Design and Engineering, Center of Excellence
Islamabad, Pakistan
02.2010 - 02.2020
- Design and develop image registration solutions for agriculture in both spatial and Fourier domains. Urban colony-based change detection using older to recent image registration techniques, urban colony change detection system was designed and developed
- Design and develop object detection and classification software for plant disease detection using ANN / SVM
- Diseases in crops mostly on leaves effects on reduction of both quality and quantity of agricultural products. A plant leaf disease detection and classification system was developed using image segmentation, object detection, and classification techniques
- Design and develop data acquisition system (DAS) software. DAS software acquires and saves images from analog & digital cameras attached to parrot quadcopter. It also saves data (attitude and position) from different sensors of the quadcopter
- Image registration, object detection and classification techniques were implemented in real-time ground-based hardware using fixed and floating point DSP processors
- Front-end applications development to interact with different embedded systems using serial ports
- Data processing, analysis and management software development
- Data visualization and conversion software development
