Hi! I'm Saif

Software Engineering Graduate from McMaster University

While coding has defintely been a major passion of mine ever since I first learned to recreate classic video games such as Tetris, I also enjoy photo and video editing, listening to music and playing sports as well!

I'm currently looking for full time employment in a Junior/New Grad Software Developer role.

Enviroheal

September 2021 - April 2022

Enviroheal is a collaborative capstone project developed in my final year at McMaster University that provides local municipalities with an accessible, efficient and versatile way of assessing plots/areas of land in terms of the health of its flora and it's ability to support plant life. It gives user insight on what areas of the land need more attention, allowing them to take a more targeted approach when it comes to repairing/restoring the land.
