About Me

I'm a highly ambitious and hard-working computer science student at Ontario Tech University, having finished two years with a cumulative GPA of 4.10 out of 4.30. I'm specializing in Data Science and pursuing a minor in Mathematics. I’m passionate about developing innovative software solutions that drive real-world impact, and I am currently working at Bravella Health to bring meaningful change through technology.

A bit about my background — I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada, while my parents are originally from Pakistan, with roots that trace across South Asia and the Middle East. In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, especially basketball, soccer, and badminton. I love going to the gym, staying active, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I'm also an anime fan, with Vinland Saga and Bleach being two of my favourites. Occasionally, I like to unwind by playing video games with my friends.

Outside of coding, you can find me contributing to open-source projects, exploring new technologies, earning certifications, and actively engaging with my community through school clubs, hackathons, and social events.
