I was born and raised in Karachi 🇵🇰 I'm now 18 and living in Toronto. Most recently, I was on a team building a public health intervention with the Jigawa State Government in Nigeria. Prior to
that, I was feature engineering as a Data Analyst at CIBC, one of Canada's largest banks, on the Advanced Analytics team. I started off as the youngest intern at KPMG Canada, building an internal tool for the Cyber Risk team.
