About Abdullah
Software Engineer with 3+ years shipping production services | Python, JavaScript, TypeScript | Full-stack backend, ML/AI, DevOps
I build scalable backend systems and ML pipelines that solve real problems at scale. Most recently at Dubizzle, I engineered Django microservices serving 1M+ monthly users, optimized legacy fintech codebases (achieving a 25% reduction in query latency), and shipped transactional email pipelines processing 10K+ emails monthly. I work across Python (Django, FastAPI), Node.js, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Docker, CI/CD).
What I deliver:
- Production backend services under SLA constraints
- Database optimization & SQL performance profiling
- ML/AI systems (PyTorch, TensorFlow, CNNs, NLP)
- CI/CD pipelines and automated testing (GitHub Actions, Playwright)
- Full-stack projects from API design to deployment
Recent highlights: VoxelMorph cell tracking (real-time 3D medical imaging), BirdCLEF+ acoustic species ID (Kaggle, 234 species), Great Precious multi-vendor marketplace (Stripe/PayPal, FedEx/UPS integrations), English-to-Urdu NMT research.
