Hi, I'm Abdus.
NowBuilding Spends, an expense tracker that reads your bank SMS.
I'm a software engineer at an early-stage startup, where I mostly work with Node and React. This is where I write down what I learn along the way, and keep the things I've made.
Outside work, I travel and go trekking whenever I can.
The best way to reach me is email. I'm also on GitHub and LinkedIn, and my résumé is here if you need it.

The model inside Spends: a half-billion-parameter language model, fine-tuned to read Indian bank SMS and turn each one into a transaction: how much, which way, to whom. It gets 98.5% of messages fully right, against 93.5% for my hand-written rules, and it is small enough to run on the phone, so nothing leaves it. The playground shows its answer token by token, with how sure it was of each one.
