Yasir Ali

AI and Optimization Engineer

Jan 2022 - Present • 4 yrs 4 mos

I work on applied AI, operations research, and mathematical optimization projects for clients in logistics, engineering, and research. My work includes building optimization models for routing, scheduling, resource allocation, forecasting, and custom decision-support systems. I develop models using Gurobi, CPLEX, Pyomo, OR-Tools, AMPL, and GAMS, and implement solutions in Python, MATLAB, Julia, and C++. Much of my work involves translating real-world constraints into clean mathematical formulations, improving model performance, and delivering reliable solutions that integrate directly into client workflows. Projects range from vehicle routing and scheduling to inventory planning, network optimization, and algorithmic model tuning. I focus on understanding each problem clearly, validating assumptions, and designing solutions that are practical, efficient, and easy to maintain.

Operations Research & Optimization Analyst

Jan 2021 - Jan 2022 • 1 yr

I design and implement optimization models for routing, scheduling, and resource management problems. My work covers linear programming, mixed-integer programming, constraint programming, and heuristic/metaheuristic methods. I build solutions using Gurobi, CPLEX, Pyomo, OR-Tools, and AMPL, and deliver projects in Python, MATLAB, Julia, and C++. I collaborate with clients from academic and industrial backgrounds to turn complex system requirements into reliable optimization tools. Responsibilities include model formulation, solver tuning, scenario testing, and providing clear, interpretable outputs. I also create custom algorithms when traditional solvers are not sufficient.
