About
Hello, my name is Aliff and welcome to my site! Currently, I am a student at UC San Diego where I am studying Data Science. On spare time, I like to play the piano, doodle with some art work, walk on the beach, and many other things. But most recently, most of my time has been consumed with coding. However, coding is more than just a hobby. My intention is to build Software Applications that are efficient, effective, and simple to use.
