Hey, I'm Kazi.
I’m a student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Statistics, Machine Learning, and Robotics. I design and build software that makes machine learning more accessible and understandable.
Currently, I’m a Full Stack Engineer at NOVID, building the next generation of tools to fight and prevent pandemics. I’m also a member of the Data Interaction Group conducting research on explainable machine learning.
Previously, I was an intern at Use All Five and IBM.
