Hire · Computer Vision Engineer

Hire a computer vision engineer who has shipped vision AI to production

Object detection, tracking, OCR and real-time video analytics, built to run on live camera feeds rather than benchmark datasets. My CCTV system detects anomalies across 8+ simultaneous feeds at 91% accuracy and cut false alerts from 23% to 4%.

Why clients choose me as their computer vision engineer

  • ExperienceSenior, and proven in production6+ years, 17 shipped products and 6 P@SHA ICT Awards. Co-Founder & CTO, leading 25+ engineers, and still writing the critical code myself.
  • ValueSenior expertise at a fraction of US/UK ratesI work remotely from Islamabad, so you pay well below US and UK senior market rates for the same depth, with working-hour overlap for the UAE, UK, EU and US East Coast.
  • Low riskFixed-price prototype firstA free call, then a working prototype on your real data in about two weeks at a fixed price. You see results before any larger commitment.

What I build

  • 01Detection and trackingYOLOv8 detection with multi-object tracking, tuned on your footage, with per-zone rules for intrusion, loitering and crowding.
  • 02Live video pipelinesMulti-camera ingestion, batched GPU inference and WebSocket alerts with snapshot evidence, sized to the hardware you have.
  • 03Fast, cheap inferenceINT8 quantization and ONNX to cut latency and cloud cost, so vision runs at 8+ FPS per camera on a single GPU.
  • 04Vision in productsOCR, pose and movement analysis, and generative image pipelines inside web and mobile apps.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate will my computer vision system be?

On well-scoped problems with decent footage, 85-95% is realistic out of the gate, improving with tuning on your data. My production CCTV system runs at 91%. Accuracy is always measured on your cameras, in your lighting.

Can it run on our existing cameras?

Usually yes. Standard IP cameras stream video the pipeline can decode, so most projects need no hardware changes.

How much does it cost to hire you as a computer vision engineer?

Every project is scoped on a free 30-minute call. Because I work remotely from Islamabad, you get senior, award-winning experience at rates well below US and UK senior market rates, and the prototype phase is quoted at a fixed price so your risk is capped.

Do you work with clients in the US, UK and UAE?

Yes. I have shipped for clients in UAE, UK, Australia and Pakistan, and work remotely with overlap for UAE, UK, EU and US East Coast hours.

Do you write the code yourself?

Yes. I architect the system and write the critical code myself. For larger builds I also lead engineers from my team at Quickgen Technologies, where I am Co-Founder & CTO.
