Hi There! My name's Alamgir Khan.
I'm a 4th year student at The University of Toronto, pursuing a Double Major in Computer Science and Computational Cognition. I have a keen interest in full-stack development, espescially in the technology, finance, and/or gaming space.
Outside of work, I love playing video games. I'm currently mildly addicted to LoL... I'm also a huge fan of football, and I love listening to hard-rock/metal music - my favourite bands are Slipknot and Gojira.
