About Me
Hi, I am Zayn Abed, a 4th year software engineering student at McMaster University.
As a child, my brother would make me animate simple flash games as payment for whenever I wanted a video game. This developed my childhood passion for computers, games, and animation and has channeled my problem solving nature and creativity towards building a career in software engineering.
Whether it be my personal projects, which allow me to further explore my passions while continuing to refine my skills, or my experience as a software engineering intern at SciCan Ltd., I strive to treat all challenges as learning experiences, allowing me to not only develop hard skills, but also organizational skills which are key to my tireless work ethic.
Although I say tireless, I still do enjoy taking too many coffee breaks throughout the day, skiing and kayaking with friends, lifting weights, training for the marathon I promise I will eventually run, and burning the kitchen down.
