About Me
Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Saad, and I am a software developer pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at George Mason University. Originally from the Virginia Beach area, I have a deep passion for software development and design.
My journey into technology began in my early teens, driven by a curiosity about how computers and software work. This led me to earn an Associate in Computer Science from Virginia Peninsula Community College with a GPA of 3.9.
I gained valuable experience as a Software Developer Intern at IPConfigure Inc., where I worked with a talented team on a web-based UI using Angular and TypeScript. This role taught me about the software development life cycle and industry standards.
In my time learning more about software development, I recognized the challenges of inventory management as a former reseller, so I created flipassist, a full-stack web app designed to simplify this process for resellers.
I dedicated my evenings to developing the app, focusing on features that address resellers' specific needs. The beta version quickly gained traction, attracting a growing user base within the first month. Seeing this rapid adoption and positive feedback was incredibly rewarding and further fueled my passion for software development.
As I continue to grow as a developer, I am passionate about building quality software that enhances user experiences. My goal is to contribute to meaningful projects and develop innovative solutions that make a positive impact. I look forward to joining a team where I can apply my skills as a software engineer to create valuable products.
