About
Hi, I'm Atta. I currently reside in Paris, France.
I'm a graduate student at Institut Polytechnique de Paris studying Electrical Engineering. My major is in Data Analytics and Pattern Recognition.
I love tinkering with hardware and am obsessed with writing clean code. I'm interested in a wide range of topics, including embedded systems, game design, AI/ML, and AR/VR.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me lost in a great film, planning my next travel adventure, or enjoying a quiet game of chess.
