Ismail S

A bit about me

Hello there! I'm Ismail (اسماعيل). Here's some facts about me:

• I work as a software developer. Most of my work tends to be on private codebases, though I do try and do some open-source stuff in my spare time.
• I was formerly a student at Leeds university, studying natural sciences (physical).
• I like to read and learn all sorts of things.
• I'm a bit religious, not as much as I'd like to be.
• I like to help out in the community, if I can.
• I like to juggle, from time to time. I can currently only juggle upto 4 balls.

I have been very fortunate to have had (in my opinion) a privileged upbringing. I have a loving family, have received a good upbringing in a safe, prosperous country, and I've been able to do fairly well academically. If I can give back and help others, then so much the better.

If you wish to contact me (about anything that takes your fancy), then you can drop me an email at "me [at] [this url]".
