Hello, I'm Omar :) I'm a third-year computer science student who enjoys development, solving problems, and pushing boundaries beyond what's taught in the classroom. I enjoy understanding how everything works in detail. I feel the urge to understand how a technology works behind the scenes, which makes me enjoy reading documentation, and I believe this trait is invaluable in the industry.
I have experience developing in programming languages like JavaScript, Swift, C++, and more, and frameworks like React, Node.js..etc. While developing, I focus on giving the user the best experience possible while following the industry's best practices.
I'm able to learn any technology with relative ease because of my solid background in software development principles and my passion for this field.
Beyond coding, I bring strong leadership, collaboration skills, and professionalism which I developed in roles like Peer Mentor and Student Ambassador. These experiences have allowed me to guide peers, collaborate on projects, and achieve shared goals.
I also love to actively participate in industry events, to maintain my technological knowledge and create valuable professional relationships.
I'm excited to bring my skills to a co-op position and collaborate with a team to create great and exciting outcomes.
