Ruman Khan

Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 5+ years of experience building NLP & Vision Products

"My mission is to make your move into AI engineering smooth and practical—teaching the exact skills I use every day on the job."

My own journey began in 2018 during my third year of engineering. I spent months lost in tutorials and dense theory that never made it into my code. Eventually I found a course that gave me a foothold, but even then the material was heavy on math and light on practice. I pushed through, starting my career with computer-vision projects and later branching into NLP and Vision both.

Over the last five years I've built production-grade face-biometric services, document-AI pipelines, and large-scale extraction systems—collectively processing over 50 million requests every month. MLfast distils those hard-won lessons so new AI engineers can skip the detours: less theory you'll never use, more hands-on work that mirrors the problems you'll tackle on the job.
