Hey, I'm Omar 👋
I'm Omar, an Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, with a Minor in Computing, passionate about building data-driven products and systems, and leading impactful projects.
I'm deeply interested in the intersection of data, product and project strategy, and operations. With a background in engineering and hands-on experience leading cross-functional teams, I enjoy turning ambiguity into actionable plans and products and driving them through to tangible results.
When I'm not working, you can find me exploring new hiking trails, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, or playing board games with friends and family. Welcome to my corner of the internet!
