About Me

My full name is Aakash Shameer Srazali. I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My hobbies are playing and watching football(soccer). I spent most of my weekends waking up at absurd hours in the morning to watch my favorite team, Arsenal play live.

Besides football, I spent my time pursuing a Computer Science degree at the University of Washington while working at the Computer Science & Engineering Department as a Undegraduate Teaching Assistant and doing research with the Sensors, Energy and Automation Lab (SEAL) at UWas part of their Sudoku Web Development Team. On my free time, I choose to play video games or learn and progress my programming skills as a Software Engineer.
