About Me

Hi, I'm Saleh! I'm an aspiring Software Engineer with a foundation in backend development interested in quantitative development. I've worked on identity models, biometric verification, Infrastructure and financial pipelines and data analysis across my internships and personal projects. My journey has been marked by diverse experiences, bringing me to the intersection of software development, quantitative analysis, and data engineering.

In my free time I delve in reading, traveling across the world, I find enjoyment in learning and observation, and you can never go wrong with a competitive race on the track.
