About Me

Hi - I'm Muhammad Athar, a software engineering graduate from NUST with a strong focus on algorithms, machine learning, and building reliable systems.

I started with competitive programming and carried that rigor into research and software projects. That mindset shows up in how I approach correctness, complexity, and edge cases.

Outside code, you'll usually find me solving a Rubik's cube, working through a math problem, or tweaking my Neovim and tmux setup on Arch Linux.

I'm currently open to software engineering roles, research opportunities, and projects that involve strong problem solving.

Terminal-First Workflow

Arch Linux, Neovim, and tmux shape how I work. I like a minimal setup that stays fast and predictable.

Mathematically Minded

Algorithms, proofs, and problem solving are a core part of how I think and build.

Puzzle Solver

Competitive programming, Rubik's cubes, and other structured challenges keep me engaged.
