Hi, I am Hamza, an Erasmus Scholar and Software Engineer.

Recently I got selected as one of the top 3 in my country for the Erasmus Mundus scholarship. I'm obsessed with images and have always wanted to work with them. That’s why I decided to go abroad and join this program. This program covers everything from advanced image processing to machine learning, which is exactly what I wanted to focus on. Studying in different countries every six months through this program has been an incredible experience. With my software engineering background and what I’m learning in my master's, I'm looking forward to applying this knowledge to real-world projects.

Previously: I graduated from the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences with a Medal. My final year project was a mobile app to help visually impaired people using image processing, machine learning and computer vision algorithms. My work experience started right after my 4th semester as an undergraduate when I completed my internship and learned to write professional code in Python. After learning the skills to work in industry, I got attached to a startup in the United States remotely, where I developed websites and worked on neural networks and forex trading.

After graduation, I joined a multinational company and started working full-time as a software engineer. I worked there for a couple of years for their client, Marks & Spencer, and received great appreciation from the client and the company. I enjoyed my time adding value for the millions of users using our developed software, generating revenue of around a billion dollars. The culture was great, and the people there were like a family (I miss them all ’). However, the work could sometimes feel monotonous, which is why I decided to transition to a fast-paced startup. The new environment challenged me to grow technically and professionally.

Meanwhile, I already had started finding freelance work to keep me dynamic and utilize my full potential. My projects mainly relate to the web, cloud, and machine learning solutions. I got to work with hundreds of clients worldwide, which opened up my vision beyond any horizon. I like to interact and socialize with like-minded people. I always seek to add value wherever I go and implement solutions to complex problems. Let's connect, and I am sure we can learn from each other :)
