About Me
Hello, I’m Tanzil Hussain! I’m originally from Seattle, WA, where growing up around tech innovation inspired my passion for the intersection of technology and business. Paired together, my background in both fields serves as an asset in translating technical expertise into business strategy, and vice versa. I’m especially interested in product management, security, and engineering, and I hope to tie these interests together in a future role. Whether I’m building tools, analyzing data, or exploring emerging tech, I’m driven by a desire to create impactful solutions that serve both people and progress. Outside of academics, I love thriller movies, photography, and traveling!
