Hey, 👋 Farha here!
Passionate about aligning people, processes, and technology to build meaningful projects.
About Me
Hey there! I’m Farha. An ex-software developer, currently an AI change-management intern. Figured out early that life was a series of problem-solving, so making through it one step at a time! Endlessly curious, and an excellent collaborator.
Psst.. I’ve been told I have a keen eye for detail. Maybe I can help you find that one spot you’ve missed out on, or see your project through from start to completion!
When I’m not working, I teach. Feel free to reach out for classes!
