Fawad Sarim — Engineer · Consultant · Founder

I turn data into decisions — and build AI that works in the real world.

I'm an engineer and consultant with a BS in Computer Engineering and an MS in Artificial Intelligence Engineering. Through Femtus Solutions (UK) I help leadership teams turn fragmented data into clear, decision-ready reporting — data analytics, KPI frameworks, project controls, and AI automation that work in practice. Through Pesgit Engineering (Pakistan) I run applied R&D in computer vision and edge AI, and deliver data analytics and AI automation for Pakistan and regional clients.

Core Approach

Performance Intelligence & Insight


Every system I build — whether for my ventures or directly for clients — is rooted in years of hands-on engineering and measured against real-world conditions, not demo environments. These are the principles that guide how I work.

Architectural Rigor

I design from the structure up — the underlying data model and architecture decide whether the result holds.

Execution That Ships

Strategy only matters if it ships. I anchor every engagement to a working output — tested against real data and real conditions, not just a review environment.

Reliability by Design

Systems have to perform under real conditions — real data, real edge cases, real operational pressure. I build for that from the start, and I'm honest about where the limits are.

My Capabilities

Intelligence Frameworks


These are core capabilities I've developed and delivered — first as an engineer, and now through my ventures. Every framework listed below is built for real-world application.

Data Analytics & Management Reporting

Through Femtus Solutions (London, UK): data analytics, KPI frameworks, management reporting, project controls, and AI-powered automation. I build the systems, not just advise.

  • KPI Frameworks
  • Management Reporting
  • Project Controls

Computer Vision & Edge AI

Through Pesgit Engineering (Rawalpindi, Pakistan): applied R&D in efficient real-time perception on constrained, offline-capable edge hardware — optical and thermal imaging and multi-sensor fusion for industrial, agricultural, and infrastructure settings.

  • Edge Inference
  • Multi-Sensor Fusion
  • Thermal Imaging

AI Automation & Intelligent Workflows

Automating data pipelines, report generation, document processing, and repetitive workflows — using Python-based pipelines, AI-assisted extraction, and automation built on existing tools. Available through Femtus Solutions (UK) and Pesgit Engineering (Pakistan).

  • Pipeline Automation
  • AI Data Processing
  • Automated Reporting

Technical Advisory

Advisory that bridges engineering reality and decision-making — architecture reviews, feasibility assessments, and technical roadmaps across data and AI systems.

  • Architecture Reviews
  • Feasibility Studies
  • Technical Roadmaps
Selected Work

Selected Work


Real engagements and ongoing work across data systems, edge vision, and applied R&D.

Data & Decision Systems

KPI Framework for an Infrastructure Portfolio

Designed a KPI framework for a multi-million-euro infrastructure portfolio: aligned stakeholders, defined metric logic, and delivered executive dashboards and a phased roadmap.

Outcome: A measurement system leadership could agree on and act from.
Edge Vision Engineering

Edge CV System: Assessment & Optimisation

Conducted an in-depth assessment of an edge computer-vision prototype — analysing inference pipeline design, latency characteristics, and optimisation pathways including hardware-accelerated inference approaches.

Outcome: Clear evidence of performance constraints, reliability risks, and the engineering path from prototype to field-ready operation.
Applied R&D

Vision-AI & Edge Perception

Through Pesgit Engineering: applied R&D in optical and thermal imaging, multi-sensor fusion, and efficient edge inference for industrial, agricultural, and infrastructure applications — taking hard perception problems from concept to field-credible prototype.

Outcome: Ongoing applied research bridging the gap between lab results and real-world readiness.
Common Pain Points

Why Clients Engage Me

These are the problems I see most often — and the reason clients reach out.

  • Fragmented data and reporting with no single source of truth.
  • Strategies that look good on paper but fail in practice.
  • Edge/AI systems that work in a demo but break in the field.
  • Large project schedules hiding underlying risk.
  • Engineering and leadership talking past each other.
“Having built these systems from the ground up — from embedded circuits to executive dashboards — I understand where conventional approaches often fall short.”

Competitive Advantage

Intelligence vs. Reporting


I don't build dashboards that look good in a review. I design reporting and data systems that hold up when leadership actually acts on them.

Generic Dashboards

  • Disconnected spreadsheets & isolated tools
  • Inconsistent, contradictory metrics
  • Lagging indicators & manual delays
  • Illusion of control, limited actual visibility

A First-Principles Approach

  • Unified data and reporting systems
  • Standardised, consistent KPI frameworks
  • Automated, reliable reporting workflows
  • Clear, decision-ready management insight

Let's build something that actually works.

Data analytics, management reporting, project controls, and AI automation are delivered through Femtus Solutions (UK) and Pesgit Engineering (Pakistan). Computer vision and edge-AI R&D goes through Pesgit. For advisory, partnerships, and speaking — reach out directly.
