SyedAhmerShah

Software Engineer & Full Stack Developer

Designing order within the digital wilderness.

Curiosity, compiled
into things that matter.

Hi, I'm Syed Ahmer Shah — 'Ahmer' for short — a Software Engineering student fueled by curiosity and a love for building technology that matters.

My journey started at St. Bonaventure High School and continued at Superior College of Science, where I developed strong analytical skills and discipline. Today I'm pursuing a Bachelor's in Software Engineering at HITMS and a three-year Advanced Diploma in Software Engineering at Aptech Pakistan.

This dual path bridges theory and real-world practice — from programming, web development and databases to full software design. I lean on AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to streamline workflows and innovate faster.

Driven to create impactful software, I'm honing my craft as a Full-Stack Developer. The goal: build future-ready solutions and leave a legacy beyond the ordinary.

Millions of articles. Choose the ones that matter.

OfflineShelf helps a school, library or clinic without reliable internet decide which Wikipedia articles to carry offline, and keeps that decision repeatable. A list can come from a Wikipedia category, a Wikidata query, a pasted reading list or the most-read articles of a month, and lists can be combined: "Vaccines minus Companies". Each list can rebuild every month, keeps a history of what was added and removed, and exports as a spreadsheet file, a folder of web pages that opens from a USB stick, or a ZIM file for the free Kiwix reader apps.

core branch coverage

Built at the end of October 2026 across 26 pull requests: a Flask API with Pydantic validation, MariaDB and Redis, background workers on RQ, and a plain-Python list layer with 100% branch coverage. It works in any language edition of eight Wikimedia projects and talks to Wikimedia the way its API rules ask: an identified client that backs off when the servers are busy. It stores only titles and IDs, never article text, and every export carries the CC BY-SA attribution the content needs. Every feature works end to end in Docker; the public launch at offlineshelf.ahmershah.dev is planned for February 2027, after end-to-end and load testing.

  1. 01

    Four ways to ask for a list: a category walked to a chosen depth without looping, a Wikidata query mapped to articles, a pasted reading list with redirects followed and gaps reported, or the top articles by pageviews for a month.

  2. 02

    Lists combine: union, intersection and difference of up to ten lists, and a combination rebuilds by itself when one of its sources gets a new version.

  3. 03

    A failed rebuild never replaces the last good list: every build is a separate version with a report, and the owner sees exactly which articles came and went since the previous one.

  4. 04

    Three exports for three kinds of places: a TSV for spreadsheets and scripts, an HTML bundle that opens from a USB stick with no server, and a searchable ZIM file for the Kiwix apps.

The project, rebuilt

Ahmer Institute of Technology

The portal, renamed and rebuilt on my own afterwards, then taken further: five portals in plain PHP and MySQL, a hardened upload pipeline, Docker, and an end-to-end suite that found real bugs. Finished at v2.0.0 and archived.

  • 31 tables · 2 reporting views
  • Student, admin, staff & teacher portals
  • Race-safe approvals
  • CSRF · nonce CSP · rate limits
  • 58 E2E tests · 14 personas
  • ClamAV-scanned uploads

Also on the job

  • MySQL for storing, retrieving and managing application and student data
  • Git and GitHub for version control in a shared codebase
  • Basic SEO, data entry and data management — accurate and consistent
  • Debugging, testing and maintaining code against real project requirements

“What impressed us most was the combination of debugging, security engineering, and AI integration. Syed didn't simply fix individual bugs; he looked at the underlying architecture and improved the reliability, privacy, and security of the platform.”

Fixed an email automation system that dropped some messages and sent others two or three times, closed IDOR holes with proper authorization layers, moved database access to PDO, hardened payment handling, added a custom CAPTCHA, and built an AI support chatbot, per-user AI features and an AI assistant for the admin panel. Delivered on schedule.
