Afsana Airin

Hi! I'm Afsana, a Computer Science graduate from United International University, currently working as a Data Engineer at Aboitiz Data Innovation . I build scalable data pipelines that support complex data systems and enable machine learning models for forecasting business-critical insights.

During my undergraduate thesis, I worked on Scene Graph Generation, and I also conducted research on data imbalance issues under the supervision of Professor Dr. Dewan Md. Farid and Akib Zaman.

My long-term research interests include Scene Graph Generation, Multimodal Machine Learning, and Large Language Models. I am happy to connect or work together—feel free to reach out to me anytime.

Projects

Renaissance

Industry project at Aboitiz Data Innovation, 2024

  • For the past year, I have been working on the Renaissance project to build and optimize data pipelines for machine learning models.
    • Developed end‑to‑end data pipelines for data ingestion, transformation, and orchestration using technologies such as Spark, Databricks, and Airflow.
    • Enhanced forecasting accuracy by implementing real‑time data integration.
    • Reducing processing latency through the use of cloud‑based AWS Lambda functions
    • Automate complex data system

Fuel Management System (FMT)

Industry project at Aboitiz Data Innovation, 2025

  • Besides Renaissance, I am leading the FMT project on the Data Engineering side.
    • Developed a robust data pipeline to automate the Philippines’ fuel pricing management system.
    • Extracted and integrated data from different sources using Python and Spark, and transformed them for the data science team.
    • Automated key formulas and pricing calculations within the pipeline.
Mars_rover_2022

Rock Detection Model & Soil testing for in-situ life detection

UIU Mars Rover Team (UMRT),(University Rover Challenge), 2022

  • In 2022, I was a part of the Science Team for the UIU Mars Rover team, where we participated in the prestigious University Rover Challenge (URC) in Utah, USA, for the first time. As a member of the science team, my focus areas included:
    • Conducting research on soil testing for in-situ life detection on Mars.
    • Performing over 50 chemical tests to detect vital soil elements like proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, aiming to find potential signs of life on Mars.
    • Developing a deep learning model and a specialized rock dataset for rock testing, which detected the presence of algae and fossils, offering potential evidence of life.
