🤖👋

I’m Yasin, and I build things. Big on hiking and exploring. I’m lazy and dumb, but lucky me, I’m always around smart folks.

Now

Living in Norway and my work focuses on bioinformatics and software engineering, blending my passion for technology with the fascinating world of science and mathematics.

What I Do

I work across all aspects of software and enjoy teaching and mentoring alongside my technical work. I’ve taught computer science to undergraduates and currently mentor and supervise master’s students in software engineering.
