Hello, I'm Syed Abraham Ahmed

A Computer Engineering (Co-op) undergraduate student at University of Manitoba. My experience is mainly in robotics, deep learning/genAI systems, systems engineering, and technical work in embedded, ROS2, and perception fields.

Previously, I interned at StandardAero, PTx Trimble, and the Canadian Grain Commission in software, and robotics roles.
