IENGINEERINGIDEAS INTO WORKING SYSTEMS

Seeing differently.
Building deliberately.

I’m Sayeed, a software developer in Cambridge. I work with code, AI, and automation—and care about the people on the other side of the screen.

COMPUTER VISION

Look. Then look closer.

Video annotation, object detection, and frame-level analysis. A different way of working with the visual world.

IITHROUGH MY LENSMY PHOTOGRAPHS, NOT GENERATED

The art of
noticing.

Light on a familiar street.
A bird that pauses.
The ordinary, seen again.

Design & Photography / 3 min read01

The eye behind the interface

What photography can teach us about attention, restraint, and designing software that feels intentional.

AI Engineering / 3 min read02

Before another prompt, build an evaluation

A practical way to separate missing evidence from weak answers—and make RAG improvements measurable.

AI Engineering / 3 min read03

Chunking is an information design problem

Why splitting documents well requires preserving meaning, not finding a universal token count.

IVTHE PERSONMORE THAN A STACK OF TOOLS
A gravel path branching through a scrubby English meadow under a soft skyAbu SayeedA WALK. A QUESTION. A NEW PERSPECTIVE.

An engineer’s mind.
A photographer’s eye.

I’m Muhammad Abu Sayeed. I build software, explore AI, and photograph the world around me. The connection is curiosity: understanding what’s there, and imagining what could be.
