I'm Naeem.
A Computer Engineering student at Colorado State University who likes working where hardware, software and the person using them meet.
I do front-line IT support at CSU's Morgan Library, and I'm open to software, CE & IT support internships.
I've been an IT Support Intern at Morgan Library since Feb 2025. I clear hardware and account issues there and wrote 20+ FreshService canned responses so users get a complete fix without a follow-up ticket. Before CSU, I helped deploy a uniCenta POS on MySQL for a hardware store in Mombasa and trained the staff to run it on their own. I graduate in Spring 2028.
