About Me
Hi there, I'm Faiz, and I'm currently a junior double majoring in Computer Science and Math (Statistics and Data Science concentration) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I've been playing with computers for as long as I can remember and started learning to code at 11. I'm currently an Undergraduate Course Assistant for CS326 (Web Programming) under Prof. Tim Richards and a Researcher for the Wireless and Sensors Systems Lab (WSSL). I'm looking to explore deeper on the interdisciplinary between computers and nature.
My main focus these days is to explore as many areas of computer science as possible and gain as much experience as I can. I am avidly interested in making functional software with aesthetic UI, and I have recently developed a liking for low-level development. I've also been enjoying my database class this semester so I'm definitely keeping my options open.
When I'm not in front of the computer, I love to go on adventures in the mountains - especially when they're misty, blanketed with pine trees, and littered with waterfalls. I also enjoy shooting cinematic videos, spoiling my cats with a little too many snacks, do any activity that gets my adrenaline going, and spotting cool trains (including Amtrak) when 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!
