About
The longer version.
I’m Abdulaziz Jamaleddin, but almost everyone calls me AJ. I study computer science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
How it started
It started with a PSP 🎮. I figured out how to get modded games onto it off the SD card, and that was the first time I got a device to do something it wasn’t sold to do. In high school I programmed our FIRST Robotics robot in Java from 9th through 11th grade. I still drop by a local school now and then to help with programming.
Why I keep at it
Three things. Watching people use something I built. A bug that only shows up when the network splits in half. And finding a pattern in the data that nobody told me was there.
Off the clock
- Gym
- Lifting. The one hour a day nothing compiles.
- Reading
- 1984 is still near the top of my list.
- Games
- I grew up on Command & Conquer: Generals. Strategy games are my thing.
- Markets
- I follow them more than I should.
- Languages
- Arabic and English. Python and C++ too, if those count.
