Hello, This is Nawab Mahmood!

|

I am a first-generation college student studying Computer Science with a minor in Data Science at New York University. I aim to become a full stack software engineer alongside getting a masters in Machine Learning.

Building this website was an exciting journey where I explored Next.js, React, Three.js, and Tailwind CSS. I enjoyed creating interactive elements like the floating cube and animated bubbles to showcase my creativity.

When I'm not coding, you can find me playing basketball, exploring new board games, traveling to new places, capturing moments through photography, or swimming. I'm also passionate about sports analytics and constantly exploring the latest advancements in AI technology.
