Overthinking Development
This is my personal blog where I... do what the title says.
My interests are in web development, functional programming, statistics, data visualization, and (most recently) cloud computing.

About Me
I’m Waseem! I write code at https://github.com/waseem-medhat
My education background was in pharmacy, but I always found myself more into math and computers than the typical pharmaceutical sciences. I discovered that I could combine by background and interests by starting a career in biostatistics. So, I pursued that career and, after a period of self-learning, managed to get a job. I have been working as a biostatistician and statistical programmer for 5 years with R as my main tool.
Over time, I learned other data science tools like Python, SAS, SQL, and Tableau, and after a while, I started learning about the web technologies applied in data science and visualization fields. From there I’ve been ever expanding my web development repertoire on both the front-end and the back-end sides as well as DevOps.
The web ended up being a tool to empower my statistics career as well as a side career of its own, and I’m looking forward to growing as a web developer!
