# About Abulasar Sayyad

> Nearly a decade building production software across the web stack—from Ruby on Rails and Elixir/Phoenix to JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js with Express and NestJS, as well as cloud systems. Now I’m going deeper into C++, systems programming, memory, concurrency, and AI/ML.

## Engineering story

I learned software by following problems across boundaries. A feature rarely ends at the interface: it continues through an API, a queue, a database, an operating system and the constraints of the machine running it.

That curiosity has taken me from Ruby, Ember and Phoenix to TypeScript, Node.js and cloud systems. Today I am deliberately moving closer to the machine—studying C++, memory, concurrency, Linux internals and the engineering trade-offs that make software predictable under load.

My ongoing M.Tech work in AI/ML adds another layer: the mathematics behind models, how data moves through a system and how intelligent features can be built without losing sight of reliability, cost or user value.

## Technology background

- TypeScript
- Node.js
- Elixir
- Phoenix
- Ruby
- C++
- AI / ML

## Career thread

- **Early — Web foundations:** Ruby on Rails, Ember, JavaScript
- **Build — Full-stack systems:** React, Node.js, Elixir/Phoenix, APIs
- **Now — Product engineering:** TypeScript, NestJS, AWS, MySQL
- **Going deeper — C++ · Systems Programming · AI/ML:** C++, systems programming, and AI/ML

## How I work

- **Trace the whole system:** Understand the path from user action to bytes, processes and failure modes.
- **Make trade-offs visible:** Prefer clear constraints, measurable behaviour and decisions another engineer can review.
- **Learn by building:** Turn unfamiliar concepts into small systems, benchmarks, notes and repeatable experiments.

## Current study

**M.Tech AI/ML · In progress.** Strengthening the mathematics, modelling and systems foundations behind reliable AI software.

## Human languages

- **English:** Professional fluency
- **Hindi:** Native fluency
- **Finnish:** Basic
- **German:** Actively learning
