 I graduated with a Masters degree in Computer Science from North Carolina State University and am currently working as a Software Engineer at Yahoo, Inc. I'm the eldest child, with a younger sister. I am a happy go lucky, adventurous, honest person who likes to cook, travel, workout (outdoor activities as well), watch sports, and spend time with family & close friends. I enjoy reading about Islam, historical events, different cultures and current affairs. I have a very practical and modern outlook to life but at the same time I incorporate Islam in all my important decisions. Family and Islam are very important to me as they both keep me motivated and well grounded at all times. I challenge myself by setting career & personal goals and try achieving them through hard work, patience and perseverance. I keep my faith in Allah s.w.t and always turn to the Almighty in the difficult and happy moments of my life. I strive everyday to make myself stronger and a better muslim in any way I can. Alhamdullilah, I pray 5 times a day, recite the Qur’an and attend Islamic seminars on a regular basis. I try to see the best in others and overlook any shortcomings.
