Hi, my name is

Raja Ahmed.

I'm a junior in computer science at the University of Oklahoma. I love building web apps and find machine learning fascinating.

[ about me ]

I'm currently an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the University of Oklahoma, working under Dr. Samuel Cheng. I'm also the Operations Director of Hacklahoma, Oklahoma's largest hackathon!

Here are a few technologies I've been using recently:

  • JavaScript
  • Python
  • React Native
  • React.js
  • Next.js

Outside of work and studies, I enjoy playing and watching basketball, watching anime, and going to new coffee shops! (*^o^*)
