Freelancing — available for projects
Hi, I'm Umar Faaruk — an AI/ML engineer and freelance developer in Hyderabad. I've shipped 11 client builds: an AI study platform that drew 15,000+ impressions at launch, a live analytics dashboard, a heritage jewellery house, a Gulf marketplace and more — backed by published deep-learning research.
// 01. services
One developer, end to end — strategy, design, code, deployment and support. Here's what you can hire me for.
Business sites, storefronts and legacy rebuilds that look premium and load fast — mobile-first, SEO-ready, built to turn visitors into enquiries. I migrated Aerowash off a legacy WordPress export and shipped Founder & Growth from a blank page.
Custom models, computer vision and LLM features — prototype to production, with the data pipeline and evaluation to prove they work. Backed by published deep-learning research (93.5% mAP detection, 99% threat-detection accuracy).
Marketplaces, SaaS platforms and live data dashboards with Next.js, TypeScript, FastAPI and cloud databases — from Edunox and Jobly to the Strategic Arc analytics dashboard that replaced manual reporting.
AWS, Vercel, custom domains and CI/CD via GitHub Actions. Offline-sync for weak networks, secure API gateways, and fixes after launch — I stick around past the handover.
// 02. client work
11 builds for real clients and products — nine of them live behind the buttons below, so click through and judge for yourself. The two private builds are an AI study platform and a client analytics dashboard.
AI Product · EdTech
A self-directed learning platform built and launched solo — React, TypeScript and Vite on a Supabase backend, with Groq-powered AI generating study material on demand. The launch earned 15,000+ LinkedIn impressions and engagement from professionals at Oracle and Morgan Stanley, and ships through a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline.
Independent product — walkthrough available on request.
Luxury Retail · Jewellery
Heritage jewellery house with 43+ years of legacy — bespoke 92.5 silver artifacts, bridal collections and rare gems, with WhatsApp ordering built in.
AI Product · Careers
An AI-perfected ATS resume builder with live job matching, skill-gap suggestions and an application tracker — a complete product, not a landing page.
Consulting · Data & Analytics
A custom analytics dashboard in Next.js and TypeScript that replaced the firm's manual reporting workflow with a single live, data-driven interface — the numbers now update themselves instead of being assembled by hand.
Client deployment — private to the firm.
Luxury Goods · D2C
Hand-embroidered 650 GSM cotton towels from Delhi — an editorial storefront built to make a small product feel like a luxury ritual.
Hospitality · Catering
Premium catering for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations — menu storytelling and enquiry flow designed to convert event planners.
Marketplace · Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Premium Gulf classifieds — verified-dealer listings across luxury cars, real estate and electronics.
Restaurant Tech · Ordering
A QR table-ordering SaaS built from the ground up — database schema, backend and the customer ordering flow. Guests scan the table code, browse the menu and order from their phone, with no extra hardware for the restaurant.
Local Business · Hyderabad
Doorstep waterless car-wash service, rebuilt from a legacy WordPress export into a fast, modern responsive site — eco positioning, mobile-first layout and a booking flow built for local search.
Business Site · Services
Conversion-focused site for a virtual-assistant business — clear offer and copy aimed at founders who need reliable behind-the-scenes help.
Luxury Travel · Concept
Concept build for high-end private villa rentals — editorial visuals and concierge-style presentation for a premium audience.
In progress: a cinematic, scroll-animated site for a yoga studio — custom motion design, mobile-first throughout.
// 03. research
The engineering depth behind the client work — published deep-learning research, AI security systems and production LLM builds.
Flagship
Cybersecurity · Deep Learning
Real-time threat detection across distributed IoT edge nodes. Paired CNN and LSTM models reached 99% accuracy at a 0.01 false-positive rate on NSL-KDD and CICIDS2017, with federated learning and blockchain keeping raw data on-device.
Published Research
Computer Vision · YOLOv11
Real-time detection pipeline achieving 93.5% mAP at 60 FPS, fit for production safety monitoring. Built end to end — ingestion, preprocessing, augmentation, labelling and evaluation — and benchmarked against baseline algorithms on mAP, F1, precision and recall, with automated Twilio SMS incident alerting. Accepted for publication in an AI Health Care book (2025, in press).
AI & ML · LLM
Conversational AI chatbot built during the Telugu LLM initiative — a Dify.ai inference API wired into a Streamlit front-end, owning the full data flow from user input to personalised model response, deployed to a live public environment.
Cloud · Full-Stack
Mobile-first platform deployed on AWS — FastAPI backend, Supabase PostgreSQL, and a custom offline-sync mechanism with automatic cloud synchronisation for low-connectivity environments.
AI & ML · Game Engine
AI-powered chess web app — Stockfish engine integrated into a Python backend for real-time move computation, with an interactive Streamlit UI managing board state, rule enforcement and outcome detection. Live on Streamlit Community Cloud.
Web Development
Responsive e-commerce storefront with product grid, cart interactions and clean UI — built from scratch with vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Web Development
Functional task manager with DOM-driven state management and a mobile-first responsive layout — one of three JavaScript apps delivered during the Intrainz internship.
// 04. about
I'm Mahmmed Umar Faaruk, an AI/ML engineer and freelance web developer in Hyderabad, India, and a B.Tech graduate in CSE (AI & ML) from Sreyas Institute of Engineering and Technology.
I work at both ends of a product. On the front, I ship client builds in Next.js, React and TypeScript — a live analytics dashboard for Strategic Arc Consultants, a QR table-ordering SaaS designed from the schema up, and Edunox, my own AI study platform, whose launch drew 15,000+ LinkedIn impressions and engagement from professionals at Oracle and Morgan Stanley.
On the back, I build the models. At Viswam AI I contributed to India's first Telugu LLM initiative alongside Swecha, IIIT Hyderabad and Meta — NLP data pipelines, prompt engineering and fine-tuning workflows — and architected Craft Connect on AWS with a secure FastAPI gateway and Supabase PostgreSQL offline-sync.
I'm also a published researcher: my deep-learning work on fire and smoke detection is accepted for publication in an AI Health Care book (2025, in press), alongside research in adaptive AI security and real-time computer vision. I like turning complex data into systems that learn, adapt and ship.
Designing, training and evaluating ML & deep learning models — CNN, LSTM, federated learning.
Real-time object detection with YOLOv11 & PyTorch — 93.5% mAP at 60 FPS on live video.
Prompt engineering, LangChain, Groq & Dify.ai — LLM features wired into real products.
Next.js, React & TypeScript front-ends on FastAPI and Supabase back-ends — shipped for paying clients.
Adaptive SIEM systems with federated learning & blockchain for evolving cyber threats.
AWS, Render and Streamlit Cloud with GitHub Actions CI/CD, secure API gateways and offline-sync.
// 05. journey
