About Me
I'm Touseef Ahmed, a full-stack developer based in Ilmenau, Germany, currently pursuing research in Software and Systems Engineering at TU Ilmenau. Over the last 4+ years I've shipped backend-heavy, production systems — real-time chat and RTC platforms, multiplayer game backends, and CMS-driven web apps — while staying comfortable moving up the stack to build the React/Next.js frontends that sit on top of them.
I like systems that hold up under real traffic: clean API design, sensible database schemas, and infrastructure that doesn't fall over when things get busy. Outside of client work I've been digging into deep learning and NLP, which was also the subject of my undergrad thesis.
