Md. Abu Ammar · Backend & AI Systems Engineer

Backend & AI systems engineer. I ship payment rails, distributed platforms — and train quantum circuits.

I build production systems at Masjid Solutions: payment infrastructure moving millions of dollars a year, AI-powered kiosk monitoring across 120+ devices, and .NET Aspire distributed platforms on Azure. MS CS researcher in quantum machine learning.My undergraduate thesis explored quantum machine learning — variational circuits and encoding methods on PennyLane simulators — and the research thread continues through my MS: Bangla POS tagging with knowledge distillation, multi-output CNNs, ensemble methods. I bring a production engineer's discipline to research code.Payment rails (Stripe, ACH, wallets) moving millions a year for 20,000+ users, Azure Vision AI watching 120+ kiosks, roughly 200 releases a year through CI/CD I architected — designed with DDD and vertical slices. The hero beside this text is a quantum classifier I wrote from scratch; drag the data points.

Bangla POS Tagging Using Supervised Learning and Knowledge Distillation

[nlp][bangla][bert]

abstract ▸

Part-of-speech tagging for Bangla — a low-resource language whose main benchmark, Microsoft IL-POST, is severely class-imbalanced — using contextual embeddings from three Bangla BERT models. A decision tree proves less biased by the imbalance than a neural network, motivating an unusual distillation direction: treat the class counts in the tree's leaf nodes as a probability distribution and distill that "dark knowledge" from the tree into the neural student .

Machine Learning In The Realm Of Quantum: The State-Of-The-Art, Challenges, Future Vision and Applications Of It

[quantum-ml][quanvolution][cvqnn]

abstract ▸

A comprehensive review of the state of the art in quantum machine learning, paired with hands-on classification experiments: two first-generation hybrid quantum-classical models — a quanvolutional neural network on a gate-based simulator and a continuous-variable quantum neural network on a photonic simulator — trained on MNIST and compared head-to-head against classical baselines on accuracy and convergence.

About

I work where production engineering meets machine learning research — connecting business operations, software architecture, AI, payments, and cloud infrastructure into systems that run every day.

At Masjid Solutions I own systems across their full lifecycle: payment infrastructure (Stripe, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay) supporting millions of dollars in annual volume for 20,000+ users; KioskVisionAI, which watches 120+ donation kiosks across 60+ U.S. organizations with Azure Vision AI; and an automated Salesforce synchronization platform that eliminated manual CRM entry. I deploy constantly — roughly 200+ releases a year through CI/CD pipelines I architected — and design with DDD, vertical slice architecture, and clean architecture principles so the systems stay healthy long after they ship.

The research thread runs in parallel: my undergraduate thesis explored quantum machine learning — variational circuits, encoding methods, hybrid classical-quantum models on PennyLane simulators — and continues through my MS: Bangla POS tagging with knowledge distillation, multi-output CNNs, ensemble methods.

My mission: continuously improve systems, automate the repetitive, and innovate at scale.
