Hi, I’m Rayaq - a Software Engineer at Google and alum of the Software Engineering program at the University of Waterloo.

I enjoy working on complex problems across software engineering, machine learning, and mathematics. My experience spans compilers and low-level systems, machine learning training, optimization and deployment, and large-scale build and version control infrastructure.

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or check out some of my projects on Github: https://github.com/rayaq-siddiqui!

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Google
Jan 2025 – Present

### Software Engineer @ Google
Jan 2024 – Jan 2024
⚙️ Remote Build Execution Team

### Machine Learning Compiler Engineer @ d-Matrix
Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Santa Clara, California, United States
🚀 Frontend Compilers Team
* Accelerating LLMs & Convolutional Models

### Machine Learning Engineer @ IBM
Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada
IBM EDGE AI & IoT
- Computer Vision, Robotics, Machine Learning, PoC, Infrastructure

### Machine Learning Engineer @ BlackBerry
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
• Developed a log anomaly detection platform combining ML, data pipelines, CI/CD, APIs & a NoSQL database
• Researched NLP anomaly detection techniques & productionized an unsupervised ensemble model leveraging LSTM/Dense autoencoders, Google’s BERT transformer, and scikit-learn models (IsolationForest, PCA, etc.)
• Used Tensorflow, Pandas, and Numpy for model development and achieved high F1-score & accuracy
• Improved model inferencing by 38,250% & improved data pipelines by removing redundant logging and API calls
• Optimized low level memory usage by 52% via memory tracing, profiling, implementing subprocesses (multiprocessing)
• Implemented CI/CD using GitLab Runner and Docker to automate tests ensuring successful integration and deployment

### Software Engineer @ RBC
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada
• Spearheaded a comprehensive dashboard with 7 data source systems integrations using Python and Django 
• Improved productivity by saving 600 hours/month by developing an automated mailing response system
• Integrated a cloud database using exchangelib, automated scripts, Django models & SQL queries

### Software Engineer @ Polar
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021
• Contributed on the Creative Pod in developing an interactive iframe using Python, JavaScript/Typscript, React, jQuery, NodeJS, Selenium, and other frameworks. Was able to develop various features/components, fix bugs, write unit tests, understand test-driven & agile development, and learn from my mentor.
• Responsible for transitioning codebase between unit testing frameworks (from Sinon/Chai to Jest) using the Jest-Extended library and Jest documentation. Resulting in 2 times faster testing speeds and independent testing environments due to tests running in parallel on different threads.
• Optimized efficiency of two repositories by replacing libraries with manually implemented algorithms and increased runtime of numerous components by 2 to 8 times.

### Mechanical Engineering Design Internship @ RDH-SCHARF
Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Alban, Ontario, Canada
• Using SolidWorks, designed mining equipments and heavy machinery alongside mechanical engineers.
• Analyzed parts in Quality Control and ensured they met standards using precise measuring equipment.
• Developed an alphabetized organization system for technical drawings based on their product number.
