Abdul Hakkeem P A

Software Engineer, Kochi, India (he/him).

A short introduction

I build software that has to survive contact with real users, real data, and real deadlines. Most of my work sits at the intersection of web engineering and applied AI, where the hard part is usually not the model itself, but the surrounding system.

I am currently at IBM, after earlier R&D and product stints in smaller teams. I enjoy speaking at meetups, building side projects that sometimes work and often teach, and organizing communities where people can learn by shipping.

If you are in Kochi and want to talk software, research, or what we keep getting wrong in developer tooling, send a note to hello@abdulhakkeempa.com.
