はじめまして！ I'm Syafiq Kamarul Azman and here's a bit about me: I am currently (2022-present) a Data Engineer at AIQ, a joint venture between G42 and ADNOC, in UAE. I was previously working at Khalifa University under the supervision of Dr. Andreas Henschel on a human genome project and COVID-19 project, Dr. Wei Lee Woon on an aeropsace engineering project, and also Prof. Khaled Elbassioni on a power engineering project. I enjoy learning and speaking about machine learning, anything to do with data, hacking cool visualizations and neural nets, trying to solve AI control problems, things of that nature. I do ML ops and data engineering for awesome AI-powered applications for my day job.
My background is a BSc (with Honors) in Software Engineering from The University of Nottingham (2014) under the supervision of Dr. Tomas Maul developing a transparent academic publishing platform. I have also completed my MSc in Computing and Information Science from Khalifa University (2017) under the supervision of Dr. Andreas Henschel developing a microbiome search engine in Python and analyzing biofouling patterns in seawater desalination.
