I am a first generation Lebanese-American and aspiring Software Engineer.
My passion for coding blossomed in my senior year of high school, where I participated in my first coding competition (and won!). This spark fueled me to continue my education in Computer Engineering at Rutgers University - New Brunswick where I learned about many computer science fundamentals including Machine Learning, Network Security, and Fullstack Development, just to name a few, and continued to graduate at the top of my class with the honor of Summa Cum Laude!
Throughout my childhood I would take annual trips to visit my relatives in Lebanon which gave me the opportunity to learn Arabic and French. This has aided me in connecting with numerous people across the globe, and sparked in me a passion for travel! I love learning about and immersifying myself with different cultures, and I hope to someday have travelled the globe doing so.
Some of my other hobbies include reading, playing the piano, as well as multiple outlets of art, along with digital art, photography, and drawing. Be sure to check out some of my photography and media on my vsco linked below!
