About Me

Hello! I'm Ehtesham, a Software Engineer pursuing my Master's in Distributed Systems Engineering at TU Dresden. With a strong academic background and professional experience, I specialize in building modern web applications and scalable systems.

My experience includes working at Share Mobility, where I developed automation systems and enhanced platform performance, and at DotClick, where I built scalable e-commerce solutions. I'm particularly passionate about cloud technologies, distributed systems, and modern web frameworks.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing outdoor sports like football and badminton, enjoying a game of chess, or exploring new technologies. I'm always eager to learn and contribute to innovative projects.
