FAROOQ TARIQ // SYSTEMS ARCHITECT
I specialize in building secure, physical infrastructure for the next generation of computing. My work spans from deploying NYC radio networks to architecting localized AI environments that prioritize data sovereignty.
Local AI Infrastructure
Containerized AI services (Ollama, Docker) on Fedora Linux. Optimized for resource allocation and private LLM inference under strict hardware constraints.
Field Operations
Managed on-site installations and diagnostic testing of 4G/LTE signal outputs and data center fiber optics across the NYC Tri-State area.
Advanced Software Dev
"ForgeGate" — A custom AR engine integrating real-world movement and interactivity.
Project Leadership
Led all phases of a $650k residential project.
OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE
>Adaptability: Developed through a 26,000-mile solo motorcycle expedition across 17 countries.
>Reliability: Professional BS in Computer Electrical Engineering (SUNY Binghamton).
