I am a versatile engineer who always endeavors to absorb as much knowledge as possible and executes solutions to systemic problems with detail-oriented, thoughtful code. As a pre-medical student turned Software Engineer, I strive to code with the purpose to make other’s lives better. My “patient-first” perspective has seamlessly translated into a “user-first” approach when creating products that are geared towards societal impact. At my core, I am a leader who diagnoses problems efficiently and tackles them with a growth mindset. Github: https://github.com/narissa-hajratalli
