Currently working on Dining Flow project as a Senior Researcher at Software Engineering Department, Turku University. It is my passion to learn about computer science, machine learning, data science, and web mining. Having been a programmer since I was a teenager, I possess solid programming skills and knowledge. I strive to be a lifelong learner who pays attention to details. Since machine learning can benefit many people, it is my main motivation.
I'm a 38-year-old PhD in computer science machine learning, who has studied and worked for the last ~6 years in teaching position in information technology and computer science. My previous job was as an Assistant Professor at the public university QUEST Nawabshah Pakistan, which I am on study leave from. From 2014 to January 2018, I worked in the IT department. My career started in Lecturer Information technology and moved from there to more of a senior lecturer and most recently assistant professor.
My PhD in computer science was awarded in November 2022 after studying for about 5 years (or so). My research group is in Joensuu city at the School of Computing University of Eastern Finland Joensuu. My research group is called machine learning, and my research field is data science and web content mining. I have developed 4 different methods for keyword extraction both language dependent and independent.
I love programming and spending most of my spare time practicing and improving my programming skills. I'm good at getting the big picture to dig deeper in just the right spots. I love to prove before doing so that correct things are built and then build them. And I'm hungry for more. I love interacting with customers and providing value to their needs. I love constant learning and complex environments where you face challenges on multiple levels.
