About Me

Hi 😁 I'm Ahnaf (Uh-Nuf) – a passionate creator blending technology, design, and innovation to craft meaningful experiences.

As a Computer Science major at DePauw University, I thrive at the intersection of coding and creativity, building intuitive applications and impactful digital content. I've spearheaded social media campaigns 📱, reimagined user interfaces for better engagement, and developed web applications that solve real-world problems 🌏. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge, mentoring peers to unlock the exciting potential of STEM.

Outside of coding, I dive into my creative side—whether I'm capturing moments through photography 📸, jamming on the guitar 🎸, or unwinding with challenging action-adventure games 🎮 like Lies of P and Sekiro. If you're curious about my photography and music, feel free to check out my Instagram, where I post regularly! I'd love to connect and hear your thoughts on my work—let's build something awesome together!
