Hi, I'm

Amanullah Asim

I build intelligence that can see, reason, and move.

Computer engineer working at the edge of physical AI, robotics, machine learning, and products built for the real world.

Curiosity has gravity.

I like problems that refuse to stay inside one discipline.

I'm a Computer Engineering student at York University building systems at the boundary between software intelligence and the physical world.

My work spans autonomous perception, trustworthy AI, applied machine learning, and products used by real people. I move between research papers, robot stacks, production systems, and team leadership.

The new era

Intelligence leaves the screen.

I build systems that perceive people, update beliefs under uncertainty, and choose where to look next—because the physical world never arrives as clean data.

A question worth keeping

How should intelligent systems decide where to look, what to trust, and how to act?

THE RESEARCH DESCENT / 2024—202601 / 04
MAY 2024

AI for engineering education

The research question

Began investigating how AI could bridge the learning gap between engineering professors and students.

Built and evaluated a production AI learning platform across requirements, architecture, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
