Mollah Md Saif

Computer Science Graduate | Embedded Systems | AI/ML | Robotics

Summary

Computer Science graduate specializing in embedded software engineering for medical devices, with hands‑on experience at Sa.Ni. Corporate Srl designing and implementing cutting‑edge baropodometry solutions. Passionate about elevating diagnostic accuracy through seamless hardware–software integration, I’ve built native Windows automation tools in PowerShell and reverse‑engineered C++ visualization applications to optimize performance and usability. My AI background was honed as an intern at Genofax, where I developed deep learning models for bioinformatics pipelines and architected scalable, cloud‑based data processing workflows. Equally comfortable leading robotics initiatives—having steered multi‑agent pathfinding research and captained a University Rover Challenge team—as I am developing fault‑tolerant CubeSat systems. Proficient in C++, Python, ROS, AI/ML frameworks, and end‑to‑end system automation, I’m eager to bring innovative thinking and technical leadership to complex software engineering challenges.
