Umar Faruque

I’m a Computer Science graduate from Hunter College (CUNY), with minors in Asian American Studies & Mathematics. My primary interests are machine learning and software engineering, with a passion for building efficient, impactful systems using modern tools and frameworks.

I have hands-on experience with programming languages such as Python and C++, as well as working with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL systems (MongoDB, Neo4j) to develop applications that require storage capabilities.

I’ve gained practical data science experience through internships, where I worked on machine learning and data infrastructure projects (geospatial analysis, RAG evaluation, etc).

In addition, I also worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at Hunter College’s Distributed AI Research Lab, where I explored applications of reinforcement learning and deep learning techniques in flood prediction and missing data imputation.

As part of my interdisciplinary education, I also pursued a minor in Asian American Studies, and was honored with the 2023–2024 Asian-American Scholarship for AAS Minors.

I’m always open to discussing data, AI, and innovative applications of technology — feel free to connect!
