👏 Who am I
My name is Mujtaba Ali, and I am a Computer Science student strongly driven by curiosity. I have explored multiple areas of computer science, including Networking, Cybersecurity (CYS), and Automation, and I enjoy building systems that connect theory with practical, real-world applications.

Hi, I’m Mujtaba Ali — Computer Science Student

🔭 I’m currently working on
• Designing and building software projects with a strong focus on Python and modern development workflows.
• Developing backend systems and APIs using Flask and Django.
• Creating automation, testing, and data-collection pipelines using Selenium, Playwright, and Scrapy.
• Performing data processing and analysis using Pandas and NumPy.
• Working on embedded systems and IoT projects using Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
• Building and managing self-hosted services such as Pi-hole and Home Assistant on Raspberry Pi and Linux systems.
• Containerizing and deploying applications using Docker for reproducible and scalable environments.
• Integrating sensors, microcontrollers, and networked devices with Python-based backend services.
• Writing, testing, and maintaining code in VS Code for both software and hardware-driven projects.

🤝 I’m looking to collaborate on
• Open-source and research-driven projects involving Python, Flask, and Django.
• IoT and embedded systems projects using Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
• Automation, scraping, and testing platforms built with Selenium, Playwright, and Scrapy.
