M. Awais Maqbool

a BS AI graduate from Islamia University of Bahawalpur (2026) who builds systems that operate in the physical world. My background spans computer vision, deep learning, LLM systems, and embedded hardware โ€” with hands-on experience taking projects from model training through to production deployment.

I'm particularly drawn to autonomous systems and real-time decision-making at the edge, and I'm currently open to AI engineering roles and graduate research opportunities in machine learning or robotics.

Things I've built

Computer Vision Embedded Robotics
Jan โ€“ May 2026

AGRIS

Autonomous laser targeting system โ€” completed and defended as final-year project (2026). An ESP32-CAM streams MJPEG video to a Python/OpenCV desktop app which runs real-time shape detection and PID tracking, sending UDP servo commands to aim a laser mounted on a mecanum rover. Controlled wirelessly via DualShock 4 through Bluepad32.

Examgent

A retrieval-augmented generation pipeline that ingests study material, chunks and embeds it into a vector store, then answers student queries with grounded, cited responses. Built with LangChain and Gemma, with a clean Streamlit interface for students to query their own documents.

Sketch Drawing Gadget

Hardware-software interfacing project built under course work of Digital Logic Design (ARIN-1110). A gadget that translates digital sketch input into physical drawing motion via motion control logic and servo actuation. Won 1st place at the IUB AI Expo 2023.

C++ Arduino Embedded G-Code
LLM API Backend
Jan 2025

DeepSeek Chatbot

Production-style reasoning chatbot backend using DeepSeek's R1, served through a FastAPI REST interface with streaming support and conversation memory. Designed for clean frontend integration with a Streamlit UI layer on top.
