Bit More About Me ?

Hello! I’m Seifeldin Zook, a Software Engineer with a passion for coding. Since writing my first program in Python and seeing it produce the desired output, I have been captivated by the power of software to solve practical problems. This passion led me to use coding in my M.Sc. thesis project, where I worked on image recognition applications for the textile industry. My colleagues and I developed an app for image feature detection and matching using OpenCV.
I have a strong foundation in computer science, having taken classes such as Computer Controlling Technology, Software Engineering, and Object-Oriented Programming. Additionally, I have completed online courses like MIT’s 6.00.1X: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python, and Harvard’s CS50’s Introduction to Computer Science. These courses have strengthened my understanding of algorithms, data structures, memory, databases, and networks.
With two years of experience in machine learning, I transitioned to a role as a Full Stack Web Developer at Sayegh 1944 Company in Lebanon. There, I contributed to various projects for York-e and Pearson Companies, developing web applications using JavaScript for both front and back ends. I gained expertise in Angular, NodeJS, MongoDB, and Express.
In September 2021, I took another significant step in my career by joining Knowledge Officer LTD, a UK-based startup. In a collaborative and dynamic environment, I helped develop the company's main website and implemented services to enhance customer experience. I played a key role in developing the scheduling system, ensuring seamless reservations and time allocation from a single source of truth. Our tech stack included React, Ruby on Rails, and PostgreSQL.
Currently, I am a Software Engineer at TreviPay, one of the largest companies in the US Fintech sector. I develop, maintain, and support their B2B payment and credit management platform.

I believe I possess the necessary skills and experience to be an exceptional software developer. I am always eager to learn more and refine my skills whenever possible. I am confident that I can be a valuable asset to any company.

What I Love Doing the most?

I thrive on self-discovery and personal growth. Whether it's diving into a new book, exploring creative pursuits, or finding solace in meditation, I'm happiest when I'm engaged in activities that nourish my mind and spirit.

I've delved deeply into various realms of knowledge, immersing myself in the rich tapestry of philosophy, the intricate theories of evolution, the mind-bending concepts of physics, the nuanced landscapes of politics, and the profound insights of religions. Each of these subjects offers its own unique perspective on the world, and exploring them has been both a challenging and enriching journey for me. In the face of life's inevitable uncertainties, I echo Dylan Thomas's sentiment: 'Rage, rage against the dying of the light,' embracing a passionate pursuit of understanding and wisdom.
