Estehsan Tariq
Software Engineer & Creative Technologist — Stockholm
I'm a software engineer at SAS Scandinavian Airlines based in Stockholm. I build and maintain a Backstage-based Internal Developer Portal used by 350+ engineers, own GitHub platform governance across 1,000+ repositories, and drive developer tooling including AI pair-programming workflows with GitHub Copilot.
My background spans full-stack development, React Native, DevOps, and cloud architecture — with experience at DotCom Studio delivering 10+ cross-platform mobile apps, and at ContentDrips building AI-powered creative tools. I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science and an M.Sc. in Data Science from the University of Skövde (graduated 2026).
Right now, my biggest focus is AI tools and intelligent automation — AI agents, n8n and Zapier workflows, LLM integrations, and ways to embed AI into developer experience. If it's on the frontier of AI-powered engineering, I want to build it.
Outside of work I pursue photography, design, and open-source projects. Great software is equal parts engineering precision and creative vision — and I bring both.
