cat about.md

I'm Shakil Hussain — a Computer Science student at the University of Calgary, concentrating in Cybersecurity & Information Security with a Minor in Data Science. I started coding at 11 and haven't really stopped since.

I've shipped production apps, led dev teams, and competed in hackathons across Calgary. Right now I'm a Technical Lead at Tech Start UCalgary and an App Dev Lead at IISC, managing full-stack mobile builds across iOS and Android with React Native.

My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, security, and building things that are genuinely useful. I'm also a certified Microsoft Azure and DevOps engineer.
