ABOUT ME
My name is Hamza Arshad and I am currently in my 3B term studying Engineering at the University of Waterloo. On top of my choice of specialization in engineering, I have a strong affinity for computer science and hardware. I love tinkering with new tech in my spare time, and for that very reason I enjoy learning new frameworks and languages in full-stack development.
As of this moment, I am seeking employment for the Winter & Summer 2021 term. My area of expertise is in contemporary web and mobile architecture.
As for my future endeavours, I am open to all opportunities. I would love to learn new skills and be placed in a fast-paced environment where I can be challenged and create something of my own.
