Hello

My name is Muhammad Vaid. I'm a data engineer based in Durban, South Africa.

I'm also a machine learning & python enthusiast who is inspired by tough problems & possess a hunger for learning & self-growth. Can often be found tinkering with electronics or copy-pasting Stack Overflow snippets over the weekend.
