Profile: https://flows.cv/rishadrahman

I am a maturing software engineer with strong foundations in API design, distributed systems, algorithms, statistics, and machine learning.  My experience with problem solving pedagogy through computer science and mathematics instruction provides me the ability to versatilely explore complex tasks and effectively communicate solutions with my peers. I look forward to being a part of an environment that encourages communication between teammates of various skillsets and perspectives which I believe is an important factor to building amazing things.
