About

Hello! My name is Abdur-Raheem Lee. I am a tech savvy individual always looking to learn and understand more about the tech industry.

I am more than just a fast learner, I adapt easily to new environments and I love sharing knowledge I learnt from my past experiences, despite my shy personality. I find that helping others actually help me understand what I know better and I also learn from those who I help.

I stick strongly to my beliefs and I always try to carry the best version of myself.
