About Me
Hello! I'm Belal, and I've recently completed my bachelor's degree in computer science. It is not just a career for me, it's a lifestyle. I love building software that solves my problems. Real, human problems. I've gained a lot of experience early on while trying many different, yet overlapping, specializations. I've done academic research on Artificial Intelligence, built production-ready software for thousands of users, and even programmed competitively. I also self-host services for my family's personal use.
