About me

I'm a software engineer based in Dubai, UAE, with expertise in both full stack development and data science. I specialize in building scalable applications while leveraging data science skills to extract actionable insights.

I enjoy building end-to-end applications and weaving data-driven insights right into the software. By blending full stack development with machine learning, I help tackle complex business challenges and make it easier for teams to make smart, informed decisions.

    One of the values on our analytics team was “Learn and Improve” and Burhan has embraced and embody this philosophy. Burhan was reporting directly to me and I’ve watched him constantly look for new challenges to tackle, whether it’s getting to the root of the troublesome data or learning new process. Though an intern, he was also always the first to jump and extended his help to the team members in case of any issues. I’ve loved my experience working with Burhan, and I know that anyone looking to hire or work with him will, too.

    Burhan was my colleague. He was quick and adept at delegating tasks and made sure to follow up with best practices for data science projects so everyone on team had a smooth experience with task allocation.

    I mentored Burhan during a particularly tumultuous when 2 extremely large teams where merging, and he was a pivotal part in making that transition extremely smooth. Keen, smart and eager to help out in any situation Burhan is and will be an important asset for any team.
