Hey there,
I'm Ahmed Ishtiaque.

I am a software engineer who likes to reinvent the wheel to gain core knowledge about anything that interests me.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Haverford College. Added to that, I am focusing on gathering knowledge about Computer Science and channeling it to innovative ways of solving problems that affect our world on a daily basis.

I'm passionate about...
Building software from scratch - check out Django Chatter
Thinking about community - check out this presentation on Dibs
Collaborating with others to accelerate my own learning - why I go to Haverford College
My Projects
Dibs

Dibs is an online platform that lets members in campus communities share reusable items with other members in those communities. The ultimate goal of this project is to promote campus-wide sustainability awareness and waste reduction.

Built with: Django (Python web framework)

Collaborators: Ken Ruto, Jason Ngo

Chatter

A simple Django-based group chat application which saves chat history. My goal is to make it a reusable Django package and release it on PyPi for other developers building Django apps and looking to integrate a chat functionality into those apps.

Built with: Django (Python web framework), Django Channels 2, Redis

Next Blue Bus

A simple web app that lets students at Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges check the departure times of the colleges' shuttle buses.

Built with: Flask (Python Microframework)

Collaborator: Ken Ruto
