About Me
Hi there, I'm Faiz, a fourth-year Computer Science and Math double major at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I have extensive experience in software development and most recently interned at AWS as a software engineer. Moving forward, I'm eager to explore the intersection of technology and the natural world!
These days, I'm especially interested in building functional software with accessible and responsive UIs, and I've recently developed a growing curiosity about computer applications in the physical world, especially smart agriculture and environmental/wildlife conservation.
When I'm not in front of the computer, I love going on outdoor adventures (the PNW especially), shooting cinematic photos and videos, spoil my cats with wayyy too many treats, do adrenaline-inducing activities, and collect postcards whenever I get the chance.
I'm open to any opportunities that come my way and shoot me an email if you ever want to get in touch!
