About Me

Hi! I'm Nazym, a CS major (Math track) at Minerva University, currently pursuing my studies while traveling and working on projects in different countries (so far I've studied in the USA, Taiwan, South Korea, Argentina, and Japan). I am an incoming Software Engineering Intern at Gusto!

I'm deeply interested in hard problems like quantum mechanics and machine learning. Beyond technology, I love expressing my creativity through coding and building dynamic 3D experiences. I also love football, Rubik's cubes, and physics!
