# Omar Hegazy > Senior Software Engineer | ML Engineer | Georgia Tech Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/omarhegazy Decisively ambitious. Creative. Passionate. I seek the thrill of working on cutting edge technology with highly skilled individuals all working together to achieve the extraordinary. Before the age of 18, I had lived in the US, Africa, and the Middle East, and transferred to 8 different schools due to my father's work. By the time I graduated high school, I had experienced many different cultures, effectively enabling me to work with all kinds of people. As a result of this, I quickly adapt and thrive in new environments. My love for the applications of science is why i chose mechanical engineering. During my undergraduate degree I've learned to apply my courses in mechatronics, and industrial engineering. Throughout my career as a mechatronics engineer I had worked on and built products like CNC Machines, self-driving vehicles, 6 degree of freedom robotics, and R&D prototypes for a variety of high-tech applications. I excel in taking concept designs to real life products. After many years of fulfilling mechatronics work, I've decided to switch careers into software engineering due to my passion for it and belief in its future. I'm currently pursuing a CS Masters degree at Georgia Institute of Technology, where I'm concentrating on Machine Learning and AI. I truly believe in the potential of this technology to positively contribute to every industry in the world, and hence, decided to be a forging force in the field. I am a goal achiever. I seek a top tech-oriented firm that will provide opportunities to use these skills to make a change in this world. That truly is my goal in life: to leave a positive imprint on as many people's lives as I can through soulful, meaningful, exchanges of experiences, and innovative tech.
