I'm Zanoko Karimi, an Engineering Sciences student at the University of Tehran with a focus on Software Engineering and Data Science. I'm eager to learn new things and enjoy tackling challenging problems, and I try to stay patient while debugging. I’m naturally curious about how systems work and I like understanding the relationships and root causes behind both data and software systems. I also value clean design, testing discipline, and effective teamwork while working on end-to-end data engineering and ML/NLP projects.
