Introduction to the Author

Hello there! Thanks for visiting my site.

My name is Shehaan Johar and I am 23 years old and my preferred pronouns are he/him/his. I’m currently a 4th year Computer Science major at the University of Victoria with hopes to obtain a business minor since it will give me an edge in the ever-growing tech industry. I am currently employed by a tech company in Victoria called Cuboh, in which I am employed at the capacity of a Customer Success & Set-up Specialist.

I am an international student who is studying in Canada, Colombo, Sri Lanka is where I call home.
What’s Sri Lanka like, you ask? Think of it this way, it is a tropical paradise : with golden sand beaches, THE BEST seafood, Mountains and Hills, waterfalls and much more!

I have been living abroad since I was 17, where I first lived in America before I transferred to Canada in 2019. My experiences living abroad has broadened my knowledge on culture and race- where I made friends and connected with people from around the world.

Some of my interests and passions are : App Development, World Culture & Food, Traveling & Photography, Gaming, DJ-ing, Playing Guitar & Drums, Basketball & Rugby.

I look forward and hope that we can get the chance to meet virtually! Adiós until then!

    Hi, Johar! Nice to know you. What a beautiful place Sri Lanka is! I see you have such a rich experience living in different areas. I am a fourth-year cs student too and I wonder how’s your job? Is the Specialist job required to have developed skills or any coding skills?

    Hope you have a great time!

      Hi Qianheyu

      Thanks for leaving a comment, it’s nice to meet you! Computer Science is a great field to be in and I hope you are enjoying your classes.
      For my role as a Customer Success & Set-up Specialist, I was not initially required to possess technical skills — however, I learnt these skills while I was being trained. We work with API’s and many software project management tools which require a certain level of technical knowledge. I am hoping to join the tech team in time to come!
