About Me

I'm Talhah Raheem, a senior at Cal State Fullerton studying Computer Science with a focus on AI and full-stack development.

I enjoy building tools that solve real problems — from RAG-powered chatbots to campus marketplace platforms. I'm always exploring new technologies and looking for ways to turn ideas into working software.

Outside of coding, you'll usually find me at the gym or playing a sport.
