About Me

My Story

Hello! I'm Maryam Said, a passionate Computer Science student with a strong interest in cybersecurity and application development. I graduated from Qubaa High School in 2024, where my curiosity for technology grew into a mission to build tools that make a real impact.

I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at University of the People, and preparing to join the Open University of Kenya for Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics. My journey has been shaped by resilience, strategic planning, and a commitment to learning beyond the classroom.

My Projects

I've completed and am developing projects that reflect my values and goals:

• Skill Swap: A platform that helps people exchange knowledge and skills in a collaborative, empowering way
• Smart SOS (In Development): An emergency alert system designed to support women's safety

My Technical Focus

I enjoy working with Python and SQL, and I'm focused on writing clean, well-documented code that solves real problems. Whether I'm completing assignments or preparing for certifications, I approach each task with clarity, structure, and purpose.

My Philosophy

I believe technology should reflect human needs—not just technical brilliance. I value emotional honesty, creative expression, and building digital spaces that empower and protect. This portfolio is more than a showcase—it's a reflection of my journey, my values, and the future I'm building one step at a time.
