I am a Computer Engineering graduate from the City College of New York. I am very passionate about computers and how it progressed throughout the years. The development of the tech industry opened opportunities to young people like us. Therefore, I have opened the doors to many opportunities for software engineering, IT/Cyber Security, and Database Management/Data Analytics. Apart from my academic and career interest, my hobby is hanging out with friends and playing soccer and cricket. I also like photography. So, sometimes, I go outside to take pictures of the nature surrounding us. Over the summer of 2022, the internship at Unadat made me a strong person to become successful in the tech industry. Here, I have learned team management skills, collaborative skills, technical skills, and ideas from my team members. I am sure that I will be applying those skills in my career path looking into the future.

The big project we worked on was adding the chores features on the Unadat website. The feature would allow children to raise money for their future or something they want buy from their parents in exchange of doing chores. The request will then go to the parents and they will have access to editing and confirming the chores. The child will be notified that the chores list are confirmed and when the child is finished with the chores, he/she can send that request to the parents and mark as done, so the parents can release the money.
