Interests:

Coding, Web Designing, Video Games, Tinkering with Electronics, Machine learning, The Martian, Silicon Valley, Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood

Being someone who doesn’t like crowded places (or a bad headphone) , Nabil defines himself as an introvert. As most of his interests are tech-related, he often finds himself staring at a computer screen more and socializing less - something he wouldn’t change for the world. Nabil taught himself HTML and CSS in 9th grade and started making personal websites. Later, he moved towards harder things like Javascript, C++ and Python through books and ‘trial and error’ which is basically short for - face a problem, google it, google it again and then fix the problem. He wishes to get good enough to work for tech giants like Google or Microsoft. He started working for The R- স্কয়ার্ড Project mainly because of its potential and dedication to strive for greatness. Even though it may seem like his world revolves only around electronics and computers, Nabil has goals of his own. He wants to bring changes in the mindset of people and broaden their views, and he has a strong belief this project can help him achieve that.

Besides procrastination and scrolling through memes, she spends most of her time sketching or writing reviews. Being the youngest in her family, she always felt unheard - which lead to writing more and talking less. She loves SpongeBob memes, anime, horror movies and tiny animals. Other than finally owning a bunny someday, Antara’s final goal is to bring a noticeable change in her country (maybe even in the world), which is one of the reasons for her joining The R-স্কয়ার্ড Project. She believes that this project has the potential to bring much-needed changes in the system.
