ENGINEERING × MATHEMATICS × THE UNEXPECTED
Software engineer. Researcher.
Curious, by nature.
Exploring the space between intelligent systems, human experiences, and a little bit of mathematical chaos.
dx/dt = σ(y − x)
01 / SELECTED WORK
From a campus side project to robots
that navigate the real world.
A college exclusive marketplace. Built from zero, used by 500+ students.
Teaching a machine to read digits, one matrix multiplication at a time.
Autonomous navigation and assistive robotics with Boston Dynamics Spot.
Real time EEG signals meet responsive virtual environments at xREZ Lab.
The familiarity of SQL. The accessibility of Google Sheets.
02 / THE TRAJECTORY
Find an interesting problem.
Get unreasonably invested in solving it.
Built production software with PHP and Laravel: backend features, RESTful APIs, and application logic for internal and client facing systems. Containerized and deployed services with Docker and Kubernetes.
Developing Python financial models and data pipelines to support investment decisions for a $1.5M portfolio. Integrating Bloomberg and Excel data, automating valuation updates, and turning market data into research.
Building cross platform Unity experiences with NASA collaboration. Integrating real time EEG streams through BrainFlow C# bindings and creating adaptive AR/VR interactions with MRTK and OpenXR.
Collaboratively led research into the adversarial resilience of CLRNet lane detection. Designed perturbation based tests using Gaussian and motion blur to benchmark model performance under corrupted visual inputs.
Developing autonomous navigation and motion planning for Boston Dynamics Spot using LiDAR, SLAM, and activity recognition models. Building Python automation pipelines for scripted movement and rapid task prototyping.
Nonlinear differential equations at UNT Programming & VR instruction at iDTech
Exploring robotic assistance through hardware, software, and human centered design.
03 / THE HUMAN IN THE LOOP
I’m Syed Abdullah Imam, studying Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of North Texas. I like problems that live between disciplines: a robot finding its way, a biosignal shaping a virtual world, a mathematical model revealing a pattern.
My work moves between software engineering, machine learning, robotics, and quantitative research. The common thread is understanding how things work deeply enough to make something useful.
Python · C/C++ · TypeScript · JavaScript · C# · Java · SQL · Bash
React · Flask · Django · Node · TensorFlow · OpenCV · NumPy
Docker · Kubernetes · AWS · Azure · GCP · Cloudflare · CI/CD

Welcome to the other way around. Type help to explore.
A small command line for a person with too many interests.
MUSIC / 2 MIN READ
On Kanye West, the grandeur of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and why a beautiful record should never become a permission slip.
MATHEMATICS / 2 MIN READ
AI proof systems can help discover a path through a mathematical problem. I care just as much about whether the path teaches us where we are.
ECONOMY / 2 MIN READ
Economic growth can improve lives, but GDP is not a complete description of a good society. I want the argument to name what the growth is for.
I’d like to hear it.
