Who am I
Personal Details
Hello, My name is Usman Shafiq. I graduated from Stony Brook University studying in the field of Computer Science in May 2022. I was previously holding a position at Stony Brook University Residences IT as a lead tech and as a lead programmer. I'm currently looking for a new place where I can use my skills, contact me if you're interested!
I'm interested in anything and everything technology. I love to see what cool new innovations come out, play with them, and eventually figure out how they work. It was because of this interest I got heavily into programming as a whole.
I also have a project on the side called Ruby-Core, which involves a lot of my sub-projects. More information can be found about it in the portfolio section.
