About me

Hello! I'm Ahmad Naween Samandar, a dynamic Software Engineering student at University of Ottawa. Driven by curiosity and purpose, I merge software engineering with real-world problem-solving. With hands-on experience across web development, data-driven systems, and user-first design, I build scalable, clean, and human-centered solutions.

In this wonderful journey every step is a great oppotunity to adapt fast, learn constantly, and lead with innovation. From campus projects to community tech, I bring energy and ownership to every line of code. For me, software is not just a tool, it’s a language of change.
