Hi, I'm Usmaan Sayed 👋

Computer Science student @ University of Houston · Co-founder of Elite Robotics
Building full-stack tools, data pipelines, and RAG systems that solve real problems.

About me

I'm a CS student at the University of Houston who likes turning messy real-world problems into clean, working software. Lately I've been focused on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), data engineering / ETL, and full-stack web apps. I also co-founded Elite Robotics, where I hold weekly youth robotics classes across Houston.

I care about tools that are actually useful, whether that's a local RAG assistant that refuses to guess, a pipeline that tells you which skills employers really want, or an extension that helps people shop more ethically.

Tech I work with

Languages   Python JavaScript TypeScript C++

Frontend   React React Native Vite Tailwind CSS

Backend & Data   Node.js FastAPI Supabase Firebase PostgreSQL

AI / RAG   LlamaIndex Ollama ChromaDB


🚀 Featured projects

Ibex Alarm Assist — Local RAG assistant for industrial control rooms Operators ask about an alarm and get the exact SOP procedure back, reproduced verbatim from source documents — and it refuses to answer when no procedure matches instead of improvising. Runs fully on-device: Ollama, ChromaDB, LlamaIndex, FastAPI, and a React operator console. Includes an evaluation suite and a per-query audit log. Python · LlamaIndex · Ollama · ChromaDB · FastAPI · React

Fuji — AI math tutor · 🏆 Gemini Hackathon winner Snap a photo of a math problem and get a spoken, step-by-step explanation. Pipelines OCR → Gemini LLM inference → ElevenLabs text-to-speech, with prompt engineering to keep explanations clear and handle messy OCR output. React frontend, Python backend. React · Python · Gemini · ElevenLabs · OCR

Tech-Skills — Job-market skills analytics pipeline An ETL pipeline that pulls live job postings from the Adzuna API, extracts in-demand tech skills from the descriptions, and loads per-skill counts into Supabase — then ranks the most-requested skills and hiring locations. Paired with a React + Vite frontend and FastAPI service. Python · Adzuna API · Supabase · FastAPI · React

Ethical Brand Checker — Chrome extension for ethical shopping Detects the fashion brand on the page you're browsing and shows its sustainability rating in real time, scraped live from Good On You via a Node + Puppeteer backend. React · Node.js · Puppeteer · Chrome Extension

UH Clubs App — Cross-platform mobile app for discovering University of Houston clubs, built with Expo and React Native (iOS, Android, and web). React Native · Expo · TypeScript

UH WiFi Heatmap — Crowd-sourced live heatmap of WiFi strength across the UH campus, using GPS submissions rendered with Leaflet and backed by Firebase. React · Leaflet · Firebase

Overloaded Cook — A C++ simulation of real-time task scheduling and progression, demonstrating OOP, polymorphism, and file-based persistence. C++17 · OOP · File I/O


📈 Currently exploring

  • Retrieval-augmented generation and evaluation for domain-specific assistants
  • Cloud deployment and data infrastructure (Supabase, Vercel, Render)
  • Building reliable ETL pipelines from third-party APIs
