Let me introduce myself.

Profile Picture

Hi! My name is Farah and I enjoy creating things. My interest in coding starting back when I decided to edit my Tumblr themes which led to researching and learning about HTML & CSS for the first time!
Fast-forward to today, where I am a Computer Science graduate with a drive for developing high-quality applications and software.
I have also developed a passion for teaching! As I love learning, I love helping others learn and I aspire to launch my own bootcamp one day!

Curriculum Vitae

More of my credentials.

Going from being in a French school and speaking French 24/7 to an English university in a brand new country was not an easy transition but boy did it pay off!
It has exposed me to different people and cultures which helped me become an adaptable person who is always looking forward to a challenge.
Since graduation, I've taken my time to break into the tech industry as well as e-learning. I have held instructing and developing positions as well continue my professional development.
