Sajjad worked across multiple repositories, including onyx-dot-app/onyx and tnc-ca-geo/animl-api, delivering secure ingress routing, automated cloud deployments, and robust machine learning inference pipelines. He implemented TLS-enabled ingress and automated certificate management using Kubernetes, Helm, and NGINX, improving security and reliability for API and web services. On animl-api, Sajjad unified the SpeciesNet model interface, enabling dynamic detection and classification modes, and optimized SQS messaging for efficient data flow. He refactored configuration handling and aligned API parameters, using TypeScript and Terraform to ensure consistent, maintainable infrastructure. His work demonstrated depth in backend, DevOps, and machine learning integration.

June 2025 monthly summary for tnc-ca-geo/animl-api: Delivered dual-mode support for SpeciesNet-all enabling both detection and classification paths with dynamic mode selection based on model source ID; fixed parameter naming for speciesnet inference by aligning admin1_region (replacing admin1Region) to ensure regional data is correctly processed. These changes enhance inference versatility, data correctness, and maintain a consistent API surface across deployment environments.
