About

Hello, I'm Yassa Taiseer, an undergraduate student majoring in Mathematics at The University of Waterloo. I have a strong interest in software development especially topics pertaining to Combinatorics and Optimization. I am interested in exploring the intersection of mathematics and computer science, particularly in algorithm design and data structures. I enjoy working on challenging problems and applying software concepts to real-world scenarios. Currently I am expected to be joining MongoDB for their 2026 cohor as a software engineer intern. Previously I have worked at Hitachi Rail for 8 months as a software intern and am always looking for future internship opportunities. I am also available for software consulting and small projects which can be discussed further via my email.
