My name is Ayub Farah. I'm currently pursuing a B.S. in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science at The University of Houston. I have an interest in Computer Science and Mathematics, especially in analysis and optimization. I’m particularly interested in automation, backend architecture, and building scalable systems that turn data into usable insights.
