Intro

Hi, I'm Sohel! Like many people in tech, I grew up as an avid gamer. The seeds of a future career in IT were planted when I started tinkering with the media files in Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas. I located the texture files and realized that I could edit them to make my in-game character wear t-shirts with my own designs! It created a lasting interest in me regarding tech.

Coding

My coding journey began when I randomly bought the book "Teach Yourself C" by Herbert Schildt. I read the first few chapters, did the exercises, and was having so much fun that I finished the whole book! Over the years, during my personal time as well as during my undergradate and graduate degrees in Computer Science, I picked up a number of different skills and gained the ability to quickly become familiar with new tech stacks as needed.

Skills

I have worked with/have familiarity with the following:

• Python
• Django
• C/C++/C#
• SQL
• Unity Game Engine

Projects

• genetic-arcade: a python based project that showcases the power of genetic algorithms in a variety of visual environments.
• retro_site: a web project that aims to recreate a nostalgic UI look and feel by drawing inspiration from retro operating systems such as Windows 95 and 98.
• github: other projects.
