About

I'm Tabeen Raoof, a Bay Area-based applied AI/ML engineer. I'm pursuing an MS in Computer Science at SFBU (concentration in AI/ML), graduating December 2026, with a background spanning computer-vision research, backend services, and three years of enterprise delivery before that.

My path to engineering wasn't straight. I started in international project management at the United Nations, running humanitarian infrastructure programmes, then moved into Technical Account Management at Yardi Systems in PropTech before going back to school. That mix shows up in how I work: I care about technical depth, but I also think hard about who the user is and what problem the system actually solves.

Outside of school and work, I read about value investing, follow geopolitics, and spend time with my wife and two children.
