Hello, I'm Karim Kanafani
I'm a Software Engineer graduate from McGill University.
I enjoy exploring different facets of development ranging from apps to games.
About me
I completed my B. Eng Software Engineering at McGill University. My love for video games sparked my passion for development. I started building basic games using no-code game engines like Buildbox until I finally started to learn about the basics of programming! My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently looking for full-time positions as a software engineer.
In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, watching TV shows, and playing basketball.
