Hi, I'm Abdulai
Welcome to my Portfolio
About Me
I'm a Senior at Texas A&M pursuing a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering with a minor in Mathematics. My passion lies in developing software that will leave a positive mark on the world. Towards that end, I'm always looking to learn new technologies and improve my skillset. A fun fact about me is that French was my first language.
