Abdulsamad Sheikh

Summary

Hi! My name is Abdulsamad, I'm 21 years old and was born and raised in Lillehammer, Norway. Technology has been central in my life since I was young. I've been the family's "IT support" for as long as I can remember. I enjoy helping others and taking on extra challenges. I started a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity right after high school and plan to complete it in 2025. At the same time, I started a Bachelor's in Information Processing in 2024 (online study) which I will complete over 2 years. What I'm looking for now is a job that can challenge me technically, where I can use my abilities, both practical and theoretical. I learn extremely quickly, like to take part in new things, and enjoy working in teams. I am fluent in 4 different languages, am outgoing and very easy to work with.
