Hello, my name is

Zishan Ahmad I design systems that connect ideas, interfaces, and intelligence.

As a software engineer driven by curiosity, I enjoy crafting systems that learn, scale, and solve real problems. From working on adaptive UIs to building backend automation and exploring machine learning, I bring a systems mindset to everything I create, focusing on tools that feel intuitive, stay reliable, and are grounded in purpose.

01. About Me

Hello! I'm Zishan Ahmad, a software engineer who enjoys building systems that learn, scale, and actually solve problems. I started off messing around with websites and electronics, just curious about how things worked. That curiosity eventually led me to work on full-stack platforms, backend automation, and machine learning tools that have been part of both industry projects and research.

Over the years, I’ve contributed to open source through Google Summer of Code, mentored projects I once worked on, and published research on AI-driven healthcare and time-series forecasting. My focus now is on building tools that are thoughtful, reliable, and grounded in real-world use.

Whether it’s building real-time interfaces, automating workflows, or training models for practical use, I care about creating systems that are useful, well-structured, and built with intention.

Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:

  • Python
  • TypeScript
  • React.js
  • Next.js
  • FastAPI
  • PyTorch
