ABOUT

Hey there! šŸ‘‹šŸ¼

Glad to have you here! Iā€™m Anisa (she/her). I was born in West Haven, CT and raised by two strong human beings who immigrated all the way from their respective small towns in Malaysia to provide an amazing life for me, my sister, and my five brothers. I currently live in East Boston with my two adorable kittens, Chief and Ivan. And you are?

Although Iā€™m just below five feet tall, I find that I have high aspirations. As a growing developer, designer, writer, and baker, I look forward to making the world a better place, one fixed bug, one em space, one slant rhyme, or one chocolate chip at a time.

I graduated from Northeastern University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Design. I spent five years at Northeastern, and throughout those years, I developed a strong interest in web development and user experience design. With the help of all the amazing people I got to work with during my co-ops, work studies, and part-time jobs, I have gotten much closer to achieving my goals.

This website is a collection of my works.

Goals and Motivations

Expectations for my work

When it comes to computer science and interaction design, my real interests lie in the intersection of the two. I find the logic and structure of programming to be compelling and satisfying, and intertwined with the complexity and unpredictability of the average user, there are endless scenarios to consider and potential problems to solve.

These are the challenges that excite me and inspire me to work towards something that pleases as many people involved as possible - including the designers and developers behind the solution.

Expectations for myself

I am passionate about increasing accessibility, bridging gaps, and providing support for the underprivileged. I strongly believe in the need for those in places of privilege to acknowledge the lack of equity in many systems that currently exist in the world and to take responsibility for righting those wrongs.

In everything I do, I plan to hold myself and my peers accountable for our actions. Our impact stems beyond our active efforts to how we work, socialize, and rest. After all, change starts from within.
