About Me

Hi there, I'm Rahman! I was born and raised in New York City, where I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Fordham University and my Master's degree in Cybersecurity from NYU. Now I'm a Data Governance Manager at Fiserv, leading enterprise-wide initiatives that uphold regulatory regulatory compliance and data protection. For fun I like to travel, explore unfamiliar places, and do photography 📸😎
