BIOGRAPHY
Hi, I'm Arslaan Asad, a software engineer specializing in AI-powered systems and backend development. With 2 years of professional experience at Strategic Systems International, I have worked on production SaaS systems, building backend services with Python (Flask), .NET, and cloud platforms like AWS.
Currently pursuing my Master's in ICT at the University of Turku, Finland (Full Merit Scholarship), I focus on integrating Large Language Models, embeddings, and agent-based workflows into practical applications. My recent work includes building LLM-powered content generation systems, AI-assisted matching logic, and retrieval-augmented patterns.
I'm passionate about AI tooling, automation, and systems that improve developer workflows. I enjoy working in collaborative, multicultural teams and learning new technologies quickly. My technical interests span from prompt engineering and embeddings to distributed systems and cloud-based automation.
