I'm graduating from IBA with a Bachelors in Computer Science at the age of 20. I've covered quite a bit of breadth in the last 4 years, I've worked on many things ranging from low-level Linux APIs in C, and on the other end of the abstraction spectrum, I've built Image classifying Neural Nets using Pytorch. I've also played around with Business Intelligence by analyzing Data using SQL and Python and then presenting the insights by using Tableau.
