About me

I am Dawood Sarfraz, a passionate and dedicated Computer Science student who has graduated with a BSCS from FAST National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences. With a burning curiosity for all things technology,


My journey into the captivating world of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics stems from a deep curiosity to explore and innovate. I am particularly fascinated by the transformative domains of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Data Science, Digital Image Processing, and Computer Vision, and how they intersect with Robotics to revolutionize industries. Driven by a desire to solve complex problems and improve lives, I constantly strive to push the boundaries of my understanding and apply AI's potential to real-world challenges.

As Geoffrey Hinton once said, "The kind of intelligence we are developing is very different from the intelligence we have."

In addition, I have a growing passion for Robotics and its profound impact across various fields, from healthcare to manufacturing, and even space exploration. The fusion of AI and Robotics holds the promise of creating intelligent machines capable of performing tasks that were once unimaginable, from diagnosing diseases to automating intricate manufacturing processes. I see Robotics as a field that will bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds, enabling machines to interact with and improve the environment around us.

As Rodney Brooks profoundly stated: "The great promise of robotics is to amplify human potential, to make human beings stronger, smarter, and more creative."

Collaboration excites me, as I firmly believe that teamwork and diverse perspectives are the catalysts for groundbreaking ideas. I am always eager to connect with like-minded individuals to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of these cutting-edge fields.

  • Worked on the “Arçelik Digital Home Energy” project in a collaborative effort with DAI‑Labor at the Technical University of Berlin under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ĺžahin Albayrak.
  • Simulated discovery, pairing, and data exchange processes using the EEBUS protocol suite with C# and Go. Migrated the framework from Go to C++ in order to ensure future adaptability for smart home IoT devices.
  • Implemented the TLS protocol for secure data exchange using the X.509 standard and integrated multicast DNS for seamless communication to complement the development of SHIP and SPINE protocols.

Scale AI

Prompt Engineer
March 2023 - September 2023, Freelance San Francisco, California, United States (Remote)

  • Crafted elaborate Turkish prompts for various generative AI tasks. Tailored prompts using well‑defined formats such as natural language questions and structured inputs based on the task’s domain to fine‑tune the LLM, improving the chatbot’s responses and enhancing overall performance.
  • Provided user feedback by reviewing and scoring the chatbot’s responses to ensure they align with intended chatbot behaviors and the chatbot produces accurate and contextually appropriate responses to given prompts.
  • Engaged in collaborative meetings with cross‑functional teams and project coordinators, actively seeking guidance, addressing queries, and collectively brainstorming strategies to generate higher‑quality prompts.

Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems

Undergraduate Researcher
June 2022 - August 2022, Internship Stuttgart, Baden-WĂĽrttemberg, Germany

  • Engaged in collaborative research within the Robotics, Collectives and Learning subgroup at the Physical Intelligence Department with Ph.D. students Sinan Ă–zgĂĽn Demir and Alp Can Karacakol on a project about 3D printing and heat‑assisted magnetic programming of soft machines under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Metin Sitti.
  • Optimized a C++ ROS package for real‑time conversion of 3D motion controller events to ROS messages, achieving high‑frequency and buffer‑free synchronization.
