# Azim Raheem > Computer Science @ Harvard Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/azimraheem I am a Harvard alumni with a degree in Computer Science on the Honors Track, with a passion for software engineering, data science, and problem-solving. As someone who grew up in a low-income neighborhood in Toronto, Canada, I’ve developed resilience and a strong work ethic, both on and off the field. My background in competitive athletics—having played for Harvard's Varsity Volleyball team and as a former member of the Canadian Men's National Volleyball Team—has shaped my ability to thrive in high-pressure environments and work collaboratively towards ambitious goals. Through my internships and coursework, I’ve honed my technical skills in front-end and back-end development, gaining experience in languages such as Python, C++, and JavaScript. I’m eager to apply and further expand these skills in software engineering roles, particularly in environments that challenge me to think critically, build impactful products, and continue to grow as a developer. Outside of academics and volleyball, I’m an avid reader, writer of poetry, fitness enthusiast, and love connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. I’m excited about the future and eager to contribute my technical skills and creative mindset to innovative projects and teams. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Archera Jan 2024 – Present | Bellevue, Washington, United States Shipped Archera’s end-to-end Guaranteed DynamoDB Reserved-Capacity offerings (Python Flask backend, React/TypeScript frontend) that tap into the $8 B+ annual DynamoDB market and allow customers to unlock up to 77 % savings versus on-demand pricing with Archera’s insured GRIs.
