   3rd place, Mistral AI Vibe Hackathon

   Built Ampy, a fully agentic e-commerce platform. It gives agents the ability to not just chat, but to search products, resell, and negotiate a good deal. It handles inventory, processes orders, talks to customers, and updates listings — the whole thing. Walked away with $1,000 in Mistral AI credits to keep pushing it further.

   Founder, Machanize

   A hardware-focused startup in the research and product discovery stage: identifying product opportunities, customer pain points, competitor solutions, and early technical feasibility for hardware concepts. The first product is a supervisory layer for robot policies — it watches a robot at runtime, learns task-specific failure patterns, and can alert or safely stop the robot.

   Robotics competitions, Techtics

   Participated in multiple national robotics competitions with Techtics, a robotics community that has grown into a movement spreading robotics education across Pakistan. Most notably the PAF-KIET Robotics Competition, where I achieved 4th position in the line follower category. Every robot was Arduino-based, with every line of code written from scratch.
