Hi there, I'm Aamir Khan👋🏼

I’m a Computer Science B.S. + M.S. student at UC Riverside interested in Machine Learning, Generative AI, building software, and engineering for good.

I enjoy exploring the intersection of AI, engineering, and accessibility, and I love turning ideas into fun and impactful projects.

👨🏽‍🎓 About Me

  • 🧠 Aspiring AI & ML Engineer: I focus on building and learning with AI & ML (LLMs, Gen. AI, Model Efficiency, etc.)
  • 💻 Software Engineer at ❤️: I enjoy building full-stack apps, intelligent tools, and friendly user experiences.
  • 🌱 Engineering for Good: My goal is to create projects that are both technically impressive and helpful and accessible to others.
  • 🎮 Beyond Code: I’m into reading, building LEGO, going for coffee runs, and gaming, which keep me curious and inspired.

🛠️ A Glimpse Into My Projects

  • Text2SQL LLaMA Analyst
    Fine-tuned LLaMA-2-7B to translate natural language into SQL queries using LoRA + 4-bit quantization.
    Includes a zero-setup Colab Demo

  • GPT From Scratch
    Implemented multi-head self-attention, transformer blocks, and autoregressive decoding entirely from scratch in PyTorch to truly understand how GPT models work.
    Test it out yourself here.

  • Pixelate
    A colorblind-friendly pixel-art editor with an AI assistant (Pixi), real-time colorblind-friendly filters, and an accessible, intuitive interface.
    View our demo here.


🔎 What I’m Learning & Exploring

  • Deep Learning Specialization (DeepLearning.AI)
  • Advanced LLM Fine-Tuning and Alignment Techniques (LoRA, PEFT, RAG)
  • Efficient ML Engineering with Quantization and Low-Resource Training
  • AI for Creative Tools, Accessibility, and Real-World Applications

🫱🏽‍🫲🏼 Let’s Connect!

My end goal is to leverage AI/ML and software-engineering to solve complex problems that will help millions around the world.
