About
Hey, I’m Nivar! Currently a cs student at Virginia Tech with a passion for full-stack development, design, and applications of machine learning.
I love building meaningful software that solve real-world problems. One of my favorite projects is an app I built to help me break a lifelong nail-biting habit by detecting when my fingers were near my mouth.
Outside of tech, I explore my creative side through fashion design, graphic design, and film. I founded SOUZOU STUDIOS, a fashion brand where I bring these interests to life.
