Hello, I’m Tanzil.

I like learning new things and finding opportunities to put them into practice. I’m still exploring where that will take me.

Software has been one part of that experience. I’ve worked on websites and client projects, built my own tools, and contributed to open-source projects, including the Tabbycat software website.

I’ve also founded and led a school debating club, performed in theatre and mime, taught introductory coding, and volunteered with community organizations. These experiences have given me practice in teamwork, communication, planning, and explaining unfamiliar ideas.

I enjoy trying something new, working through the parts I don’t understand, and sharing what I learn.
