Huzaifa AhmerToronto · 2026

I'm Pakistani, born and raised in Saudi Arabia, and now in my second year at the University of Toronto, double-majoring in computer science and economics. The double major is intentional. I'm drawn to where those two fields overlap, which for me means FinTech: payments, markets, secure infrastructure, and the products that move money.

I'm exploring roles across software engineering, cybersecurity, and financial or business analysis. My CS and economics background fits all three, and I'm genuinely curious about each path. Alongside school, I co-founded Celura Worldwide, an indie streetwear label running pop-ups across UofT and shipping cross-border between Pakistan and Canada.

Outside the screen, my main interests are working out, chess, and personal investing and trading. I've reached 1500 elo in chess, work out five times a week, and am currently learning how to trade options. I'm a longtime FC Barcelona supporter, who just won the league and became champions again. Currently looking for internships in fall, winter, or summer.

CourseClash

A multi-module flashcard learning web app built in Java using Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, and a strictly layered design. I led the team and owned the single-player quiz engine, including custom scoring, accuracy and timing logic, interactors, presenters, controllers, the Swing GUI, and 100% JUnit test coverage on all game flows.

We worked through a real Git workflow with feature branches, PR reviews, and CI to integrate user sessions, deck creation, multiplayer logic, and UI into one functional platform.

Job Recommendation System

A Python-based job recommendation platform that takes a user's skills and matches them to real-time postings using a bipartite graph and Dijkstra's algorithm, hitting over 90% match accuracy across 300+ postings.

I worked on the multi-criteria ranking pipeline, using frequency-weighted skill scoring plus filters for relevance, preferences, and category fit, which lifted recommendation quality by roughly 30%. We visualized match quality with Plotly and NumPy.
