Salman Abid is a PhD student at Cornell and a software engineer with seven years of experience building production financial systems and research tooling. He has driven full-stack and backend work at CreditBook, leading integrations with Pakistan’s largest digital wallet, designing serverless authorizers, and deploying multi-environment AWS infrastructure for real-time lending operations. His research background includes repository-level code translation with LLMs at UIUC’s Intelligent CAT Lab and hands-on projects translating microservices across Go, Node.js, and Rust while evaluating correctness and performance. As a graduate research assistant at Cornell, he blends systems-level thinking with applied machine learning for software engineering problems. He’s comfortable moving from low-level systems and architecture (OS and computer architecture teaching experience) to cloud-native production deployments, a combination that helps him bridge academic research and production-grade engineering. Colleagues would note his knack for turning complex research prototypes into reliable, deployable systems.
