Beyond the code
Who am I as a person?
Hi, I'm Shabnam [ʃæb.nǽm] — an Iranian name that means morning dew.
I studied Architectural Engineering in northern Iran, then moved to Vancouver after graduating — missed my own ceremony, but traded it for a fresh start. Computing was always pulling at me, so I went back to school at BCIT and got my diploma.
Turns out designing buildings and designing software aren't that different — both start with a problem, a blank page, and the pressure to make something that actually holds up.
How I move
somehow convinced myself I'm competitive at this
it's just a little loop she said
it's possible to get there by car or faster by plane. the answer is car
first time on skis. held it together just long enough for this photo
it's easy till you wanna stand on it
Places I've been
Random passions
Tuesday cinema
discounted vip tuesday movie… try not to be on a diet so you can get the fishbowl that you never finish
Giraffes
Me explaining to everyone why giraffes are objectively the best animal
Whales
the only time I could see the whale was its tail :(
Moon watching
every time I do my best to take the best picture of the moon from my balcony — trust me, it always looks different
Snow globes
Me in a new city: sightseeing 20%, food 30%, finding the perfect snow globe 50%
If you made it this far — hi, I'm Shabnam. Thanks for actually reading. Back to the work →
