Saqib J.

AI & ML Engineer | Predictive Models, Forecasting, Python & LLM Apps

I build AI and machine learning solutions that predict outcomes and automate decisions, from forecasting models to production-ready Python apps. I'm Top Rated with 100% Job Success, have an MS in Data Science, and bring 3+ years of real-world financial data experience. Most ML freelancers know models. I also know the business data behind them. My day job is in treasury finance at Pakistan State Oil, one of Pakistan's largest companies, so I build models that hold up on messy, real-world data and give answers decision-makers can act on. Recent work: real-time sports analytics and prediction platform I built an end-to-end ML platform that processed live sports data across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL. It used XGBoost, Random Forest and LSTM models, SHAP explainability, Monte Carlo simulation, live API pipelines and a custom PyQt6 desktop app to deliver real-time predictions and probability estimates. My client's review: "They quickly understood the logic behind the prediction model, cleaned up the codebase, and improved both accuracy and performance." What I can build for you • Machine learning models for classification, regression and prediction • Forecasting and time series models for sales, demand, cash flow and finance • LLM-powered apps, such as AI assistants, document and report summarizers, and chatbots built on your data • AI integration and automation: connecting models and LLM APIs to your workflows • Data pipelines, ETL and API integrations • Power BI and Streamlit dashboards that put model outputs in front of decision-makers Tools Python, SQL, Pandas, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, LSTM, SHAP, Monte Carlo simulation, LLM APIs, Streamlit, PyQt6, Power BI, Tableau, REST APIs, SAP FI If you need someone who combines machine learning, AI and solid business understanding to solve a real problem, send me a message. I'll reply within a few hours with a practical plan.
