Hey there!

I'm Nazzal Naseer

I’m an interactive 3D designer, as well as an electrical engineer in the making. I love programming in C/C++ and Python, whether it's programming in Unreal Engine or writing firmware code, it's my bread and butter.

My Career so far

After doing some work in machine learning, I learned about the world of interactive 3D and got my hands dirty with Unreal Engine. Since then, I've written my own Ray Tracing Renderer from scratch and started working for a production studio that makes use of real-time rendering.

Education

University of Alberta
(2019 - 2023)
Bachelor's degree, Electrical Engineering
Though a broad, high-level introduction to the world of electrical and electronics is provided, I found my interest in embedded systems and microcontroller programming. Additionally, I also enjoyed the course on logic design as well as assembly programming using the RISC-V architecture.
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
(Diploma)
Full Stack Web and App Development
Covered technologies such as Bootstrap, Angular Js, Node Js, Express, MongoDB, NativeScript, Ionic, Cordova
Deep Learning AI Specialization
(Diploma)
Andrew Ng's Specialization on Deep Learning
Covered the foundations of neural networks, how to improve neural network performance through hyperparameter tuning, regularization and optimization. Learned about sequence models such as LSTM, and also completed projects using convolutional neural networks.

Working at an incubator

After graduating from high school, I took two gap years to understand the world of startups and the tech ecosystem. In my first year, I spent my time being involved at an incubator where I developed skills such as web and app development, and worked with startups on a project-basis.

Gaining Machine Learning Experience

In my second year, I worked at a startup, in the HR industry, full-time as a machine learning intern. In my time there, I...

Worked on an ML model to predict employee turnover
Used information regarding a certain job role to predict its skill, and value requirements.
Used computer vision to understand the micro-facial expressions of a person during a video interview to infer the seven different types of emotional states
Used natural language processing to mine for relevant keywords and phrases in a resume with the help of word vectors
