A little about me
I'm Ahmed Tabish, a Computer Science student at MESCOE and a software developer based in India.
I like building things that make me understand computers a little better than I did before. My interests span backend engineering, developer tools, systems architecture, AI, and cybersecurity.
Most of my projects start with something I want to understand or solve, and usually end up becoming much larger than I initially planned. I enjoy going beyond the surface of a technology, understanding the trade-offs, reading the source, and figuring out why something works the way it does.
Outside of building software, I spend my time contributing to open source, solving algorithmic problems, exploring security, and writing about the things I learn along the way.
B.E in Computer Engineering
2023 - 2027 (expected)
Studying computer science with a particular interest in algorithms, systems, software engineering, and the things that happen beneath the abstractions.
Zulip & other projects
I enjoy working in codebases that I didn't write myself - understanding unfamiliar architecture, following existing conventions, and contributing changes that are useful to people beyond my own projects.

Competitive programming is where I sharpen my problem-solving instincts. I enjoy problems that require careful reasoning about algorithms, data structures, complexity, and edge cases rather than simply knowing a particular API.
Exploring offensive security
I'm interested in understanding how software breaks as well as how it is built. Security challenges and hands-on experimentation have become another way for me to explore systems, vulnerabilities, and the assumptions developers make when building software.
