I’m passionate about software development and have been fortunate to study computer science at one of the leading universities in the UK! I find interest in producing functional and elegant code, that is both efficient and maintainable. My goal is to excel in my career by achieving top certifications in AWS and surrounding myself with talented individuals.
Personal
I was born in Frankfurt, a city in Germany known for its diversity, food, museums and culture. It's the economic hub of Germany.
If I could summarise my childhood in germany with just a few words: it would be...
Döner, Lahmacun and Kinder Überraschung.
I spent 4 years in Germany before moving to London (Wow Arslan, thats a lot isn't it?), spending the majority of vacations in Germany lounging at my grandparents' home in Oberursel.
Outside of my studies and developing, I spend time cycling and reading. I'm currently reading: Why We Sleep by Dr Matthew Walker
