farouk adeleke

welcome to my site! my name is farouk and i am a student at boston university and a software engineer at startup, a data analytics company in london. i am currently interested in machine learning, AI, and design and its applications in search and productivity. i love the 0 to 1 of building software and how i grow with the things i build. since starting my journey as a programmer, I've learned that software is an art and like any art we can draw inspiration from other art.

quotes i live by:
