About Me

Hello — I'm Aalia Sarfaraz Wadkar.

22 years old, and based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I fell in love with technology because I wanted to understand how things work — and then build them better.

What I do

I'm an IT engineer focused on Data Science, Cloud Computing, and AI. I enjoy turning data into clear stories and building cloud systems that scale and stay secure.

Quick wins

I've worked on projects like a Smart Tourism AI platform (+40% engagement), a Music Genre Detection model (87% accuracy), and a Stress Detection System (82% precision). I also improved backend performance by 20% and cut data-processing time by 30%.

Background

I graduated with an Honors degree in Data Science (B.E. in Information Technology) from Finolex Academy of Management and Technology in 2024. I'm currently growing my skills in cybersecurity and AWS cloud practices.

Let's build

If you need help making data useful, deploying secure cloud systems, or experimenting with AI — I'd love to collaborate.

Professional Experience

Data Science Intern

FastFindFirm

Pune, India
Jan 2023 - Mar 2023

During my internship at FastFindFirm, I worked on building data-driven solutions that combined both development and analytics. I collaborated with frontend developers to refine the user experience, supported backend operations by optimizing SQL queries for faster performance, and integrated APIs to deploy machine learning models that scaled efficiently. This role gave me hands-on exposure to the full development cycle—bridging data science, engineering, and real-world product impact.

Enhanced UI/UX → 25% faster user responseOptimized SQL queries → 30% better performanceDeployed ML models via APIs → 15% more scalability
