About Me
Hello! I'm Elham Shah, a passionate Computer Science student at UMass Boston with a deep interest in AI-driven technologies and software development.
Currently working as a Researcher & Developer Intern at Noble Quran App, I specialize in developing iOS applications with NLP solutions and creating responsive web applications. My journey in tech has been driven by curiosity and a desire to build meaningful solutions.
Through my experiences at Headstarter and various personal projects, I've developed a strong foundation in full-stack development, mobile applications, and machine learning. I love tackling complex problems and turning ideas into elegant, efficient solutions.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or leading initiatives in campus organizations.
