I'm Jameel, a software engineer and entrepreneur.

I've loved reading for as long as I remember. My mom used to read to me when I was young and as I grew older, I came to really enjoy it. I like reading fiction the most, and in the last few years, fantasy fiction. Especially the LitRPG genre.

The only thing I loved more than reading as a kid was building things and tinkering with them. I would build houses out of paper or cardboard and tinker with my dad's Pentium 1 computer.

It's when I went to college that I found a new avenue for building things. The first programming language I learnt was C++, then Java, and I used them to breathe life into ideas, and I haven't stopped since. I've built applications that go on mobile devices (Android and iOS), custom hardware (Nixplay Photo Frame) and the Cloud. I'm familiar with a number of languages, C++, Java, Go, Typescript and Ruby.

Today, I'm a Staff Sofware Engineer at ExpressVPN where my team and I build tools to improve developer productvity and happiness. In my free time I balance my time between spending time with family and working on projects to make my own little dent in the universe.
