About

This site is the canonical home for my academic and research identity online. It tracks my work in real time — projects, certifications, technical skills, and a running journal — rather than presenting a static, one-time snapshot. It exists to give professors, admissions committees, and collaborators one accurate place to see what I have actually built, with links back to verifiable sources (GitHub repos, credential IDs, live demos).

Flagship research project: PAKGOV-RAG — a bilingual Urdu-English retrieval-augmented generation system for Pakistani government documents (FBR, HEC, NADRA, SECP, Supreme Court).

Tech Stack

Built deliberately simple — no framework, no build step, so it stays fast, dependency-free, and easy to maintain for the next four years:

• HTML5 / CSS3 — single static file, custom design system (no CSS framework)
• Vanilla JavaScript — scroll-based section highlighting only
• Fonts: Fraunces (display), Inter (body), JetBrains Mono (metadata/code)
• Hosting: GitHub Pages (free, static)
• SEO: robots.txt, sitemap.xml, Google Search Console verification

Repository Structure

• index.html — the entire site
• robots.txt — crawler permissions + sitemap pointer
• sitemap.xml — page index for search engines
• google[...].html — Google Search Console ownership verification

Maintenance

This site is updated continuously, not left static:

• New certifications, projects, and journal entries are added as they happen
• Experience and Publications sections stay empty until real, verifiable entries exist — no placeholder content
• Last updated date is shown in the site footer
