About

Hi, My name is Muteeb Akram. I'm pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at the University of Utah with a keen interest in Software and Systems. I plan to graduate in May 2025. I previously earned my Bachelor in Computer Science at R. V. College of Engineering, where I worked on several projects and published in Systems, Internet of Things, and Network Protocol. I also have 3.6 years of full-time and internship experience at Cisco in software development, platform design, and building data center management solutions to manage 100+ servers simultaneously. At Cisco, I took ownership of projects, collaborated with multiple stakeholders, and helped the team ship several features. As a Software/Systems Engineer, I aim to design efficient products and services with user experience in mind that are easy to manage and scale. Over the years, with my increasing passion for building and designing quality software/products, I have become proficient in team collaboration, time management, learning things on the fly, and delivering results that exceed requirements. Consider dropping me a 'Hi' at muteebakram@gmail.com or messaging me on LinkedIn. Portfolio Website: https://muteebakram.github.io
