I build software for
very real problems.
Hey, I’m Muhideen—a software engineer working
across cloud infrastructure, machine learning, and full-stack
products. I like hard problems, clear interfaces, and logs that
actually answer the question.

01 / NOW
Where I’m at.
A concise status update—because “it depends” is a terrible hero
section.
CURRENTLY in progress
Pursuing an M.Eng. in Software Engineering at UMD while conducting independent AI/ML research—publications coming soon.
Fresh off my Strategy internship, I’m focused on graduate study
and independent AI/ML research: testing ideas, building
reproducible experiments, and turning the promising ones into
publications.

Me: “One quick experiment.”
Also me: adds three baselines, an ablation
study & a suspicious number of plots.

03 / SELECTED PROJECTS
Things I’ve made.
Ideas are lovely. The profiling, testing, and awkward first commit
are where they become useful.
01Systems · Performance
GPU-Accelerated Vector Search
Approximate nearest-neighbor search and columnar operators, pushed through CUDA and measured like the stopwatch has feelings.
Implemented HNSW/IVF-style search and index builds, then profiled filter, group-by, and top-k kernels for memory traffic, occupancy, coalescing, and divergence.

QuestLab
An experiential learning platform that turns theory into real-world quests—with fewer dragons, more reflection.
Built creator and learner workflows for publishing, validation, search, submissions, progress tracking, and topic-based image/reflection feedback.
↳ From lesson → quest → evidence
