    • Analytics and tracking infrastructure your team can trust
    • Production machine learning systems and MLOps
    • LLM and RAG features with evals and guardrails
    • A/B testing and experimentation programs
    • Dashboards and data visualizations that drive decisions

    Frequently asked questions

    Do you work with international clients from Pakistan?
    Yes. I work fully remotely with clients across the US, Europe, and Asia. Being based in Islamabad (PKT) gives me solid working-hours overlap with both European and US time zones, and I run engagements async-first so progress never blocks on a single daily call.
    What does hiring a freelance data scientist cost?
    Most engagements are fixed-price against a clearly scoped set of deliverables, so you know the cost up front. Pricing depends on scope and complexity; the free discovery call ends with a written proposal and timeline before any commitment.
    How do we get started?
    Book a free 45-minute discovery call. We map your data stack, goals, and the fastest path to ROI, then I send a scoped proposal. If it's a fit, we start with weekly check-ins and working software each sprint.
