Hello, I'm Zaki. I'm a computer science graduate from the University at Buffalo . I enjoy building sites & apps. My expertise lies in full-stack web development, primarily using React.
About Me
I have always been fascinated by technology, building my first computer at 14 years old. Pursuing a Bachelor's in Computer Science at UB was a natural choice. During my studies, I explored the numerous fields of computer science, such as software development, computer architecture, cyber security, and data structures & algorithms. I dabbled in data science and human computer interaction as well. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB. I am proficient in Python as well. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently working for the NYS Office of the Attorney General as a Full Stack Software Engineer.
When I'm not coding, I find joy in video games, weightlifting, and language learning. My goal is to become a polyglot, currently tackling Urdu and Spanish. I'm also exploring music production and human anatomy.
