Software developer · Toronto, Ontario

Hi, I'm Ahmed.
I build things that ship.

Sixteen months of production iOS at ecobee, across 2M+ homes. An App Store app I founded and still run. Now on repository development at UofT Libraries, and teaching calculus while I finish a CS specialist with a machine learning focus.

Every card below opens a short case study — the problem, how it works, and what came of it. Most of the code is private, so the pipelines are drawn rather than screenshotted.
