SYED ASJAD ABBAS
Focused on backend systems, AI workflows, and production-focused applications that need to handle real users, real data, and real operational constraints.
Engineering at the edge of AI
Final-year Computer Science student at COMSATS University Islamabad. I work primarily at the intersection of AI systems and backend engineering — building things that need to handle real data, real users, and real edge cases.
Currently working as a Junior AI/ML Engineer at Svype while leading Zeploy Tech as Founder & Lead Engineer. I build and ship production software — AI solutions, management systems, and custom tools — with a focus on clean architecture and reliable deployment.
My FYP, MockAI, is a multi-modal interview evaluation system that combines BERT-based NLP, DeepFace computer vision, and speech-to-text into a single analytics pipeline. It's the most technically complex system I've built so far.
I care about writing defensible APIs, designing database schemas that don't break under load, and shipping code that works in production — not just in demo environments.

Where I've worked
- Converted from Software Development Intern to full-time Junior AI/ML Engineer, contributing to AI/ML solutions across internal tools and client projects.
- Contributed to TuneBox, a Flutter music streaming application by building UI modules, integrating REST APIs, and managing application state with Provider.
- Collaborating on AI/ML development, application engineering, and production-oriented client projects.
- Architected, built, and shipped multiple production applications (including an e-commerce platform and gym management system) as a solo developer for real clients.
- Led the entire product lifecycle from requirements gathering and system architecture design to database management, frontend creation, and cloud deployment.
- Optimized database schemas and API endpoints, significantly reducing latency and eliminating redundant calls through query tuning and caching.
- Designed and deployed custom web solutions for local clients integrating secure JWT authentication, FastAPI backends, and React.js interfaces.
- Architected scalable RESTful APIs and optimized MySQL relational database schemas to handle high transaction volumes efficiently.
- Implemented robust deployment pipelines and testing workflows to accelerate shipping frequency for client products.

What's Next
MockAI is in active development targeting Q4 2026 completion. Current focus: integrating a GenAI layer using the OpenAI API to generate personalised follow-up questions based on candidate responses — expanding the system from evaluation-only to a full AI interview coaching platform.
Operational impact
"Syed Asjad built our operations panel on schedule and with rigorous database normalization. His focus on query optimization and transaction-safe checkout flows resolved membership synchronization errors we had struggled with for months."
"Our biggest issue was double-allocation of stock during promotional sales. Syed integrated strict row locks at the database transaction boundary and cached our main catalog in Redis. Our endpoint latency dropped by 85%."
"Asjad contributed meaningfully to TuneBox during his time with us. He picked up our Flutter codebase quickly, delivered clean UI components, and his component library refactor noticeably reduced our frontend complexity. A self-sufficient developer who needs minimal hand-holding."
"Syed architected our core video ingestion pipeline to handle low-latency HLS transcoding. By implementing background worker queues and Redis caching, our playback startup delay dropped by 60% across 50,000 active streams."
"Asjad transformed our restaurant ordering engine into a lightning-fast commercial platform. He optimized front-end DOM render loops and menu query execution, resulting in a 40% increase in checkout conversions during peak hours."
"Working with Syed on multi-modal analytics integration was seamless. He integrated complex NLP and vision pipelines into a high-throughput API with sub-second response times, completely automating our candidate assessment workflow."
