[ishmael @ishgineering]

hello world, im ishmael :)

18 years old, fgli, born and raised in nyc!

i have so many interests but i love coding, engineering, tech, startups, finance, and most importantly:

learning and building random things.

Currently:
• Building Duino (AI for electronics)
• SWE Intern @ Amazon
• Former Engineering Research Intern @ Columbia
• TONS OF SIDE PROJECTS!

This account is where I'll share the wins, failures, projects, and everything I learn along the way.

i listen to a ton of rap & r&b (don toliver, gunna & pnd all on repeat rn), love travelling and exploring, bike (got a bmx + mountain at home), do a bit of content creation, and food!

So if you wanna watch a kid from queens accomplish his dreams...welcome to @ishgineering :)
