I'm Jason, a hard-working, passionate engineering student from '''Lebanon'''. With just that out of the way, you'll either know nothing about that tiny country I live in, or know '''A LOT.''' We've had our fair share of unfortunate events in the past two years (feel free to google it I won't spoil it all here!) to overload the whole global pandemic everyone is dealing with, and I believe being Lebanese has shaped who I am as person immensely. Resilience and perseverance are probably the most notable, as well as being resourceful and creative to properly enjoy and live in this messy country I call home (and love!!).
Back to me, I'm a student and software engineer intern during the day, and a fun outgoing guy in the night! I enjoy some hiking, app development, road trips, taking apart old tech and unleashing my creativity in digital or traditional drawing/design. Quite the combo I must say.
A big part of who I am is defined by the year and a half spent volunteering as an Emergency Medical Technician with the Lebanese Red Cross. I learned a lot of invaluable first aid and first responder skills but most importantly, I developed my teamwork skills while dealing with stressful situations on the ground. Trusting my colleagues and truly believing in teamwork was a big revelation in this experience.
