I'm a Tech Charger
Masterful problem solver and inspires fear with my coding
skills. I can bring world domination to your
organization.
Welcome to the digital dojo of Eqbal, also known as Eki, the only coder who doesn’t debug, but stares down the bugs until the code confesses. Born in 1983, the year that witnessed the advent of the internet and me – coincidence? I think not.
From wrestling with complex algorithms to deploying scalable systems, my journey isn't just about changing locations from Jordan to various tech hubs around the globe—it’s about transforming the digital landscape one line of code at a time. I've architected solutions that didn't just meet client expectations; they won them over completely.
Why am I like Chuck Norris, you ask? Well, when I push a commit to GitHub, it doesn’t just merge; it gets a standing ovation. Dive into my world where coding meets creativity and every challenge gets a high-kick of innovation.
Disclaimer: I once wrote a book on Ruby 5.0; it’s sealed in a vault until Matz can verify its prophecy. But here's what I do in the real (and virtual) world:
Tackling real-world problems with a mix of Ruby (RoR, Sinatra, Grape), Python, and JavaScript, infused with responsive HTML5 designs for an engaging user experience.
Designing robust, scalable solutions with a cloud-first approach, utilizing AWS and Rackspace to craft architectures that support exponential growth.
Offering expert advice and leadership to steer companies through digital transformation and tech innovation, crafting strategies that lead to sustainable growth and competitive advantage.
Pushing the boundaries of automation with advanced machine learning and computer vision techniques to create smarter, autonomous systems. Check out my Nanodegree profile for more details.
Developing cutting-edge blockchain solutions, including custom cryptocurrencies and smart contracts that redefine how data is transacted.
Harnessing data to uncover patterns, make predictions, and guide decision-making processes with state-of-the-art data analysis techniques and machine learning models.

Micro blogging website built using Ruby on Rails.
This is an SPA website for dental clinic I build using ROR, HTML5, Bootstrap and more. You can make an appointment online and you will get the confirmation.
Detected highway lane lines on a video stream. Used OpencV image analysis techniques to identify lines, including Hough Transforms and Canny edge detection.
Built and trained a deep neural network to classify traffic signs, using TensorFlow. Experimented with different network architectures. Performed image pre-processing and validation to guard against overfitting.
Built and trained a convolutional neural network for end-to-end driving in a simulator, using TensorFlow and Keras. Used optimization techniques such as regularization and dropout to generalize the network for driving on multiple tracks.
Built an advanced lane-finding algorithm using distortion correction, image rectification, color transforms, and gradient thresholding. Identified lane curvature and vehicle displacement. Overcame environmental challenges such as shadows and pavement changes
This is the backend for Smile Clinic site. It has so many features (Billing system, Email and SMS notifications, Managemenet system, Appointment system).
