Brooklyn, New York, United States
Hey everyone! My name is Rasul and I'm currently a sophomore at The City College of New York studying Computer Science. I've had a profound interest in technology and the IoT for as long as I can remember and as time went on, this interest transformed into a love for programming. From front-end development to creating APIs, I'm never-ending in my search to learn more about the complexity and functionality of things. After all, who doesn't like creating useful and practical applications?? As much as I love to learn, I also share a passion for educating. Whether it be through content creation or teaching at a company, I love passing down what I know and acting as a role model for those whose shoes I was once in. Feel free to connect with me and shoot a message, I never shy away from a conversation!
