heyy, i'm obay
i'm a software enginner, i build web apps, browser extensions, internal tools, and sometimes AI projects, usually around problems i've run into myself :)
i like working across the whole project, from figuring out what needs to be built to designing, coding, and shipping it. through Hack Club, i've also worked on the other side of software: maintaining platforms, supporting users, reviewing projects, and running programs.
outside of that, i've worked with teams through internships and fellowships, competed in ISEF, and organized events like Daydream Tanta. right now, i'm leading reviews for Stardance at hackclub
