Software Engineer Intern @ Fidelity Jun - Aug 2020
Developed Alerts (mobile) using Java Spring framework. Migrated servers using Jenkins and IBM UrbanCode Deploy. Active member of the scrum team (AGILE Development).
Hi, I’m Haroon.
I’m a Junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill majoring in computer science and statistics, interested in a career related to software and tech.
I completed my 2020 Summer internship as a Software Engineer at Fidelity with the FENS (Fidelity Electronic Notification System) Team. I gained valuable experience working on large pre-existing systems, and learned how to work in an agile team environment.
I am interested in both frontend and backend development, and try to expand my skillset as much as possible by traveling to hackathons. I am also beginning to learn more about data science and machine learning, and hope to be able to add both to my skillset soon. Scroll down to projects for more information on what I have been working on.
Apart from coding, I enjoy weightlifting, biking, gaming, playing piano, and reading.
Currently, I'm pursuing a B.S. in computer science as well as a Statistics and Analytics B.S. at UNC Chapel Hill, with a minor in Hispanic Studies.

Helped teach programming to kids aged 7-14. Taught Scratch, JavaScript, and Python through the coding of videogames. Also helped code and debug said videogames.
Worked in a team to ensure quick and efficient delivery of orders. Ensured customer satisfaction by creating a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Taught students from kindergarten to 12th grade in complex mathematical problems. A strange but useful skill I picked up was the ability to read and write upside down.
Taught underprivileged elementary students self-defense. Managed a group of around 50-100 students, encouraging self-control and self-discipline.
Mastered the fundamentals of cloud computing. Learned the basic AWS systems and infrastructure. Access the certification here.
Utilized the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React/Redux/React-Native, Node) stack to design a server to access a database and create a front end portal to search, update, and delete data from the backend. Read more about it here.
Utilized multiple Google Cloud Platform Technologies, such as Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Firebase, and AutoML Vision to create a fully functioning and custom Machine Learning model that easily communicates with our Android app and website portal. Read more about it here.
Utilized the SmartCar API in order to design our own restful API on the backend, which exported Google Maps route data to our frontend app. Utilized Swift to develop the frontend app, which sent HTTP requests to our API to fetch Google Maps route data. Read more about it here.
Tracking, managing, and raising funds for new events and giveaways. Planning fundraisers and events for the community. Played for UNC at DreamHack Atlanta 2018 on the Fortnite team.
A medium publication that explains software stacks and breaks them down into easily digestible pieces. I used Hercules as an example project to show what can be done with the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React/Redux/React-Native, Node) stack. The publication can be found here.
24 Hour hackathon at North Carolina State University, where I had the opportunity to work as a team to create DermaCare, an app that allowed users to take photos of skin conditions which were forwarded to a machine learning algorithm that established a preliminary diagnosis of their skin condition. Read more about it here.
24 Hour hackathon at Duke University, where I had the opportunity to work as a team to create Chargeo, an app that automatically adds charging stations to your current route when your smart car is projected to be low on battery. Read more about it here.
