I'm Abdul — I turn ideas into shipped products, moving fast with coding agents and staying close to the people who use them.

Own a telemetry platform in production across hundreds of devices.
Multi-tenant SaaS for mosques.
Curious? Ask away.
Things I've built & shipped.
A multi-tenant SaaS giving mosques mobile + web apps and real-time announcements — built for a founding customer, the Islamic Society of Sheboygan, on Hono, Postgres with row-level security, Drizzle ORM, and a cross-platform Flutter app. In development: an AI assistant to help admins manage their masjid and spark ideas, plus an AI-powered recommendation system that helps people discover events in their area.
Built object-detection models end to end — data labeling, training, evaluation, and edge inference — making the calls on resolution and dataset sizing to hit accuracy and latency targets.
Wearable for the blind — ESP32 firmware, BLE, real-time spatial-audio guidance. Instructor's Award.
How I got here.
Build and evaluate object-detection models (YOLO/PyTorch) end to end — labeling, training, evaluation, and edge inference — and the real-time systems around them. Own a telemetry platform in production, moving data from hundreds of connected devices to Azure: REST APIs, real-time pipelines, and observability. Built a prototype — a custom rendering pipeline sustaining 60+ FPS — compelling enough to climb from my skip-level to the CIO to a full C-suite review, where it informed a strategic call on the program's direction.
Founded and building a multi-tenant SaaS for mosques — mobile + web apps and real-time announcements on Hono, Postgres (RLS) and Flutter — for a founding customer, the Islamic Society of Sheboygan. In development: AI to help admins manage their masjid and spark ideas, plus AI-powered event recommendations for people exploring what's near them.
Built AR applications with sub-1/16″ accuracy and helped launch Kohler's Digital Work Instruction team — presenting the architecture to VPs along the way.
Early software engineering internship building internal tools and services.
CS 415 Course Assistant. Senior-design winner — Smart Glasses for the Blind.

My biggest takeaway: the model is mostly a given — the real work is everything around it. Getting the right context in front of it, making sure it answers from your data instead of guessing, and closing the gap between "works in a notebook" and "works in production."
