Hi there! 👋

Ambitious software engineer dedicated to mastering full-stack web development and building highly available distributed systems, with a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

My diverse work experiences have equipped me with expertise in the following areas:

  • Full-Stack Web Development: TypeScript, React, Redux, Next.js, Express, Node
  • Algorithm Visualization: Sorting, Pathfinding, Cellular Automata
  • Databases: MongoDB, MySQL, Azure Storage, Presto
  • REST API Development: Flask, FastAPI, Express
  • Data Visualization: Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn
  • Machine Learning: Scikit-learn, TensorFlow
  • MLOps: Machine learning model orchestration and maintenance

I served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for CS 107 (Data Science Discovery) at UIUC during Spring 2023. My responsibilities included leading bi-weekly lab sessions for 60 undergraduate students from diverse academic backgrounds, developing course materials, hosting office hours, and grading assignments. I am proud to have been recognized on the List of Teachers Ranked as Excellent by their Students in Spring 2023.

Beyond my work, I have interests in algorithm visualization, open-source contribution, and crafting user-centric applications. My portfolio includes sorting and pathfinding algorithm visualizers, substantial contributions to open-source endeavors, and the creation of a personal website that elegantly presents my projects and blog posts.

You're welcome to reach out to me through email at [email protected] or explore my portfolio at https://faaez.co.in. Additinonally, I invite you to connect with me professionally on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/faaez-razeen.

Although I no longer have much time for gaming, some of my all-time favorite games include RollerCoaster Tycoon, Final Fantasy Tactics, FFVII: Crisis Core, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Burnout Paradise, and Minecraft.

In my spare time, I pursue a variety of hobbies, including but not limited to: strength training, cooking, and reading. My guiding principle centers on a daily dedication to self-improvement, echoing the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen (改善).
