about me

Hello there, I'm Nykolas Farhangi
It's nice to meet you!

I’m an energetic, ambitious, and growth-driven tech junkie with a deep passion for overcoming technical challenges. I have broad technical experience and excellent communication and teamwork skills honed over years of personal projects, student involvement, and work experience.

I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at the University of Houston. At U.H., I found a passion for promoting student success, diversity, and inclusion in technology through my involvement with CougarCS, where I now serve as President.

I enjoy competitive environments and technical challenges where I can be pushed out of my comfort zone and inspired by my peers.
