hello!

my name’s nasheed. i’m a senior studying electrical engineering & computer science at nyu abu dhabi.

i enjoy solving challenging problems, combining different tools, and exploring multiple domains to arrive at elegant solutions. this website should help illustrate some of my past and current works.

(there’s also a blog, but i’m still working on crafting something that feels meaningful, so in the meantime, here’s a link to some of paul graham’s brilliant essays.)
