Hamna Raeel builds
intelligent systems with deep learning & data.
MS Data Science candidate and Research Assistant applying Computer Vision, NLP, and Deep Learning to real-world problems — from histopathology disease detection to cross-lingual language understanding.
Turning data into diagnosis, insight, and impact
I'm a Data Science graduate student (MS) and Research Assistant at the Artificial Intelligence Diagnostics Lab, FAST‑NUCES, passionate about leveraging Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision to solve real-world problems. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and am currently expanding my expertise in ML, DL, CV, and NLP.
My ongoing research focuses on histopathology image classification and segmentation, using models like Mask R‑CNN, Mask2Former, ResNet, UNet, and Vision/Swin Transformers to improve disease detection accuracy.
Alongside research, I've built professional experience in DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure — CI/CD pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes orchestration, and deployments across IBM Cloud, Azure, and VMware — plus a strong foundation in full-stack development with React, Next.js, and FastAPI. I'm always open to research collaboration and data science opportunities that drive real-world impact.
Currently Focused On
- Deep Learning, ML & Computer Vision research
- Model development, evaluation & deployment
- Cloud & MLOps (Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins)
- NLP & LLM-based systems (RAG, LangChain)
- Data analysis, visualization & storytelling

AI/ML Engineering Projects
Production-style infrastructure for running LLM systems safely and cheaply — not research, but the tooling that makes AI features reliable to ship.
Prompt Versioning & A/B Testing Platform
Most teams tweak an LLM prompt, eyeball a few outputs, and ship — with no way to know if the change actually helped, quietly hurt accuracy for a slice of users, or tripled the token bill, until someone complains. This platform brings feature‑flag‑style rigor to prompt changes instead: every version is saved like a Git commit, traffic is split between variants with consistent hashing, and a real stats engine (Welch's t‑test + Mann‑Whitney U) declares a significant winner before it auto‑promotes to production.
LLM Cost Autopilot — Complexity‑Routed LLM Gateway
Every request to a large model like GPT‑4 costs the same whether it's answering "what's 2+2" or a genuinely hard question — most production traffic doesn't need the expensive model, but routing prompts to cheaper ones by hand is risky with no safety net. This gateway solves that: it scores each prompt's complexity with an interpretable RandomForest classifier, sends it to the cheapest model that can handle it, and runs an async verifier that escalates to a stronger model whenever the cheap model's answer looks wrong.
LoRA Fine‑Tuning Pipeline for Automated Code‑Review Revisions
Base LLMs asked to apply a reviewer's comment don't just fix what was flagged — they reformat neighboring lines, add unrequested error handling, and wrap the diff in prose. This pipeline QLoRA‑fine‑tunes Mistral‑7B on 2,500 high‑signal examples curated from 150k+ raw PR diffs via a custom grounding‑score filter, guarded by three independent data‑leakage checks, so the model reproduces untouched code byte‑for‑byte and changes only what was asked. Evaluated with paired bootstrap confidence intervals and McNemar tests against a benchmark built so a copy‑the‑input baseline can't score well.
LLM API Gateway — Rate Limiting, Failover & Observability
Most teams call OpenAI or Anthropic directly from application code, then discover the hard way that they need rate limiting, budget guardrails, and a failover plan for when a provider degrades. This gateway is that infrastructure layer: a unified proxy across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama with Redis‑backed atomic per‑team rate limiting, budget caps and per‑model access control enforced before a request reaches a provider, and automatic fallback routing verified end‑to‑end during a simulated provider outage. Circuit breakers run the full closed → open → half‑open → closed lifecycle, with every request, cost, and failover event traced via OpenTelemetry and surfaced across three Grafana dashboards.
