About Farhaad Khan
I studied Computer Science at the University of Houston. I graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor\'s Degree with a focus on Software Engineering. C, C++, and rust are currently my best programming languages, but I know several others and enjoy learning new ones. When I\'m not coding, I like to try new restaurants, go to the gym, and geek out about good acoustics.
