Hi there! My name’s Aaqel, and welcome to my website!

I’m a CS major at the University of Illinois at Chicago and I’m currently trekking through the wilderness of knowledge to obtain my bachelor’s degree.

I love programming, but more than that, I’m addicted to the adrenaline rush you get when you finally solve a bug you’ve been working on for hours. There is, quite literally, nothing else like it!

I started programming with Python, but C++ has quickly become my favorite programming language so far and one I use whenever given the option to choose.

When I’m not writing code or sending emails (or procrastinating), I enjoy playing video games and writing blog posts!

Speaking of which, this is what the different sections on my website are for:

  • About: The landing page. Not much else to elaborate on here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • Projects: This page contains all the projects I’ve finished and wish to display for posterity.
  • Blog: This page displays my blog posts. I don’t have a specific theme for the stuff I write about. It’s everything and anything that comes to mind.
  • Contact: You can use the form on this page to get in contact with me or if you want to comment something about the website or the blog posts.

That being said, I hope you enjoy your time here!
