About me

I'm Eqan Ahmad, an engineer on a mission to use technology to improve people's lives. I've got a wealth of experience in blockchain applications, cloud computing and full-stack web development with combined experiences of 3+ years. I'm a tech enthusiast and always looking to expand my skillset with the latest tools and technologies.
Upuntil now built a Cloud Computing SaaS for Stable Diffusion to minimize their daily 3rd party reliance cost such as AWS, runpod.io from 1000$+ per day to less than 500$ per day. But it's not just tech skills I bring to the table. I was also selected for a prestigious Stanford University fellowship, where I worked with a team to tackle big problems like starvation analysis and sustainable living. I have also been selected for Prime Minister National Innovation Award to bring industry revolutionary ideas to change the nations educational paradigm selected from 12,000+ candidates.
I'm passionate about user experience and design, and believe that less is more when it comes to features. My personal strengths include a customer-first approach, a strong ethical mindset, and a critical thinking ability that comes in handy for problem-solving.
As for my career goals, I'm excited to explore the intersection of technology and automation, and to use my skills to streamline and eliminate repetitive tasks. I'm always up for a new challenge, so bring it on!.
