About me

Here's pretty much everything about me. Enjoy.

Afnaan Qasim

Background

Growing up I've always tried to teach myself new things, primarily from resources like YouTube. Over the years I've taught myself barbering, marketing and most recently programming languages/frameworks. Turning these skills into business ventures has always been a passion of mine.

Currently, I'm wrapping up my final year studying Neuroscience and was lucky enough to study abroad at UCLA (24-25) where I studied Neuroscience, Arabic and Python. Nowadays you'll find me writing up my dissertation whilst developing my programming skills by creating a full-stack app, and looking for roles where I can combine my technical, analytical and business background to drive meaningful outcomes.

Beyond Work

When I'm not coding or studying, you'll find me playing sports, at the gym or travelling. I previously played National League basketball and competed in the British Powerlifting Championship.

I'm passionate about bridging the gap between neuroscience, artificial intelligence and business. I enjoy sharing knowledge through collaboration and I'm always open to discussing new ideas, research opportunities, or potential collaborations.
