Hasnain Syed
Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on coding experience, from Python automation to full-stack development. Over the last year, I have focused on product engineering: shipping mobile and web apps from zero and improving them through real user feedback.
I operate with founder-level ownership across product thinking, UX decisions, full-stack development, AI features, and go-to-market execution - while collaborating closely with users and cross-functional teams to ship the right thing faster.
I move with high ownership and high velocity. If there's a user problem, I don't wait for perfect specs - I define the path, build the solution, and ship it.

Semantic Segmentation For Landslide Detection Using Segformer
SGAI-2024 ยท Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This research aims to achieve state-of-the-art results for landslide segmentation using aerial images. Experimental results show the advantage of the Segformer model in segmenting landslide areas, with the largest Segformer variant achieving an Intersection over Union (IoU) score of 87.795% on the Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) dataset, surpassing the previous state-of-the-art model, Multiscale Feature Fusion and Enhancement Network (MFFENet), by 3.4%. On the Satellite (SAT) dataset, Segformer attained an IoU score of 79.300%, outperforming the previous best model, DeepLabv3+, by 11.163%. For the combined UAV&SAT dataset, Segformer achieved an IoU score of 85.157%, surpassing DeepLabv3+, the best previous model by 5.032%.
