Hey, I'm Syed Zulqarnain Hassan.

Data scientist with a shipping record.

I build models and the systems that put them to work. I've shipped 40+ production AI/ML and full-stack products for clients, and I finished my MS in Data Science at NYIT (May 2026) with the Graduate Achievement Award.

What I do

How can I help you?

Four things I do well — backed by real numbers, not vibes.

Machine learning & AI

End-to-end ML — EDA and feature engineering through training, evaluation, AWS deployment, and monitoring. Models that survive contact with real data.

LLMs & RAG systems

Chatbots, semantic search, and agentic pipelines with LangChain and OpenAI — like a medical assistant answering at 94% accuracy.

See MedBot →

Data analysis

Insights that move numbers — pricing and sales analysis behind a 15% revenue lift, and automated reporting that cut manual effort by 30%.

See where →

End-to-end delivery

Full products shipped for clients — 40+ SaaS platforms, AI integrations, and full-stack builds from discovery to post-launch support.

Good models are easy. Shipped systems are hard. I've spent the last few years living in both worlds — researching LLMs at NYIT by day, and putting AI into production across 40+ real products.

He'll be the best candidate you ever meet.
