Hi, I'm Alam

I'm a computer science student at McMaster University. I enjoy building real products end-to-end — from backend APIs and data pipelines to modern frontends and AI-powered features.

Right now I'm especially interested in:

  • Applied AI (LLMs, speech-to-text, summarization)
  • Backend systems (FastAPI, Node, microservices, Docker)
  • Data-heavy apps (ETL, dashboards, analytics)

Featured Projects

AI-powered video-to-notes pipeline

  • FastAPI service that turns long-form videos and URLs into transcripts, summaries, and audio
  • Uses OpenAI Whisper for transcription and Edge-TTS for natural-sounding text-to-speech
  • Asynchronous job system with a dashboard for tracking job status and downloading outputs
  • Fully containerized with Docker and optional GPU acceleration for faster inference

Repo: samurAI (see pinned repositories)


Spotify-powered music guessing game

  • Web game that uses the Spotify API and Web Playback SDK to play short audio clips
  • OAuth flow restricted to Spotify Premium users
  • Focused on low-latency API calls and responsive gameplay, including mobile support
  • Caching and deduplication to avoid hitting Spotify’s rate limits on large playlists

Repo: TappedIn (see pinned repositories)


Production-style apps with real-world constraints

  • Built full-stack features around map search, listings, and analytics (e.g., clustering for thousands of pins, efficient Postgres queries)
  • Used CI/CD, type-safe APIs, and monitoring to keep deployments smooth and reliable
  • Worked with real datasets and external APIs to ship things people actually use

Tech Stack

Languages

  • Python, TypeScript, JavaScript
  • SQL (PostgreSQL, SQLite)

Backend

  • FastAPI, Node.js/Express
  • REST APIs, JWT auth
  • SQLAlchemy, Prisma / ORM tools

AI / Data

  • FFmpeg
  • Data pipelines, ETL-style workflows

Frontend

  • Svelte / SvelteKit
  • React
  • Tailwind CSS

DevOps / Infra

  • Docker & Docker Compose
  • GitHub Actions / CI
  • Basic experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure) and containerized deployments
