Who I Am

I'm a Generative AI Engineer at Phaedra Solutions, building AI systems that transform business operations — from automating handwritten timesheets to RAG-based recommendation engines and end-to-end recruitment portals that score candidates automatically.

Previously a Senior AI Engineer at QLU.ai, I delivered NLP, semantic search, and Voice AI pipelines (ASR, TTS, VAD) at scale for executive recruitment. At DataInsight, I led PrescriptoAI — digitizing handwritten prescriptions at 98.45–99.31% accuracy — and published research on bilingual fake news detection.

With an MS in Artificial Intelligence from NUCES and a BS in Software Engineering from COMSATS, I bridge research and real-world engineering — turning complex challenges into impactful, scalable solutions.

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Saad at Qlu.ai. From the start, it was clear that he had both the technical skills and the drive to grow quickly. The services he built made a real impact — the 'similar profile' feature, something that wasn't achievable before from many engineers, was accomplished by him, showcasing not just his technical expertise but also his ability to deliver reliable and scalable solutions. Beyond his skills, he's also a fantastic teammate — collaborative, supportive, and always willing to share knowledge."

"I had the privilege of working alongside Saad across multiple chapters — from Master's at FAST to research at DataInsight. At DataInsight, Saad quickly emerged as a dependable and innovative contributor. His progression to team lead came as no surprise. Saad took ownership of major projects including leading the handwritten prescription digitization system — handling not just technical execution but also team management, client-facing presentations, and mentoring programs. Saad brings a rare combination of technical depth, clarity in communication, and leadership potential. He's a tremendous asset to any team."

"Saad worked on my team for a year, and during this time, he showed ownership, work ethic, and ingenuity that were second to none. We worked together on multiple client-facing features that were some of the most impactful and highly used. His work on similar profiles — finding profiles with similar attributes to a base profile — was particularly one of the most distinguishing features of our core product. I am confident that wherever Saad goes, he'll continue to create the same impact."

"Saad is one of those people you're always glad to have on your team. He's disciplined, focused, and takes full ownership of whatever he's working on. In the company mapping project, Saad used LLM and AI-based approaches to accurately map companies, which played a big role in the task's success. He also took on tricky challenges like similar profile issues — the kind of problems many tend to avoid — and solved them effectively. Collaborating with him is straightforward because he's clear in communication and serious about delivering results. Once he takes on a task, you know it will be done, and done well."
