  • 1. About Me



Hello! My name is Taher Ali, and I am an aspiring software developer currently studying in my third year at Wilfrid Laurier University.


I am an aspiring student in the field of software development. My initial focus was on web development, spending nearly a year delving into it. However, I have recently begun to explore the realm of C# and the .NET framework, eagerly building software applications and expanding my skill set. As I learn and explore, I realize that I find myself drawn towards software engineering - development of tools and libraries that serve as platforms on which other apps and results can be produced - which I believe is where my true passion lies.


My interest in programming began when I took CS50 Introduction to Computer Science and then continued with CS50 Web Programming. I have also dabbled in game development using Unity and C#, and I enjoy using my skills to create fun and silly projects in my spare time.


The other things I enjoy doing during my free time is listening to music 🎵, watching anime 📺, making 2D animations with Flash / Animate ✏️, and playing video games 🎮 and volleyball 🏐.


Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I hope you enjoy the rest of my portfolio!
