About Usman
Usman leads data architecture at Data Prism. His client work covers production web scrapers, cloud architecture on AWS, AI integration, and automation that takes manual steps out of operations teams’ days.
At GrabJobs he built AI-driven job-application automation. At Committed Coaches he built the operational data and AI systems behind a 1,000-member sales team.
His route into data was unusual. After Electrical Engineering at NUST, a Fulbright Scholarship took him to Georgia Tech for a Master’s in Bioengineering. He still scopes problems the way he learnt there: find the underlying mechanism, then build the smallest thing that shows a signal.
