👋 Hi there, I'm
Nawab Mahmood
|
I graduated from NYU in 2025 with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Data Science. I'm blessed to be part of the first generation in my family to finish college, which still means a lot to me. These days I'm a software engineer working on video streaming for NASA's Artemis III mission. I love learning new skills, listening to new ideas, and further expanding my perspective on life.
If you ever want to say hi, don't be afraid to reach out! :)
