Muhammad Umar Farooq
BS Artificial Intelligence student at UMT building autonomous AI agents, ML pipelines and intelligent automation that ships beyond the classroom.
Building systems that actually ship
I'm a BS Artificial Intelligence student at University of Management & Technology (UMT), Lahore, maintaining a 3.85 / 4.0 CGPA on a 70% merit scholarship, recognized with the Dean's Award and a Rector's Award.
I'm enrolled in the Panaversity Agentic AI Program, building production-grade autonomous agents using LLMs, Groq and multi-agent architecture patterns.
Beyond AI, I bring real-world experience in customer services, US dispatch operations and peer tutoring, keeping me grounded in practical, communicative problem-solving, not just theory.
