I'm Ali Sheikh,

an aspiring software engineer living in the Bay Area!

> What did you study?

I'm currently doing my Masters in Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania . Prior to this I graduated from the University of Chicago where I studied economics!

> Why do you want to be a software engineer?

I enjoy the hacking at coding projects in my free time and realized how much I enjoy problem-solving random projects. Whether its building out my own Magic Mirror by programming a Raspberry Pi, interacting with crypto smart contracts, or building a fully functioning front end and back end image uploading web app - I really have fun completing these things.

> What else do you do for fun?

I really enjoy flying my drone and taking drone videos across the world. Traveling goes hand in hand with my drone flying and I can never get enough of visiting new countries and places.
Lastly, I'm heavily involved in the crypto space and help people with onboarding when it comes to decentralized finance.
