software engineer & ux designer · waterloo, ontario, canada · class of 2027
I’m Humza. I design and build interfaces that are practical, well made, and genuinely useful to the people on the other side of the screen.
who-i-am
Computer Science student at Wilfrid Laurier University, based in Waterloo. I sit somewhere between designer and engineer: I care as much about how a screen feels as how it is wired up.
I like projects that combine logic, problem-solving, and careful UI decisions. The most satisfying ones are tools that help people learn, experiment, and gain confidence through doing, rather than through reading a manual.
Clean code and good design go hand in hand. If a thing is hard to use, it is not finished, no matter how elegant the implementation is underneath.
