Hi, I’m Rafid! I’m a Computer Science student at The City College of New York graduating in May 2026, and I’m especially interested in data. My primary focus is data engineering because I enjoy building the pipelines, infrastructure, and systems that make data usable in the first place. I like the challenge of turning messy, unstructured information into something clean, reliable, and ready for analysis.

Alongside that, I’m interested in data science work because I enjoy uncovering insights and understanding how data can drive better decisions. I also explore software engineering, since building reliable tools and applications ties everything together and lets those insights actually make an impact.

Outside of tech, I’m usually planning my next trip or taking photos of wherever I end up. I’m really into travel and photography. I keep myself active through sports too. And food? Yeah… I’m a full-on foodie 😅. I love trying different cuisines and dragging friends along for the adventure.
