Hello there! My name is Baran Shajari and I am in my third year of undergraduate studies, Majoring in Information Technology.
I decided to go into Information Technology so I can learn more about software and hardware of computers and this way I would be able to fix them if anything goes wrong.
Here is a similar picture of the laptops hardware which we had to assemble and change some of its features at work. I have experience changing the motherboard and the screen of one of these Lenovo laptops and learned many aspects about computer hardware along the way.
I have practical experience with fixing hardwares of computers which I learned through woking at the IT office at Lassonde School of Engineering. As an IT assistant, it's our job to trouble shoot equipment and fix them if anything is wrong.
Further, I have seen many of my colleagues fixing hardware on computers and I have assembled a motherboard which allowed me to observe and learn more about the system.
In my spare time I like to play the piano. I teach piano on the weekends to small children and I find music a very powerful tool for relaxation after a long day. I am also representing a club at your university which is called "the body positivity club". It is designed for people to come together and talk about their experiences and support each other in a positive way. I am involved with mostly marketing of this club and enjoy spending my time to spread awareness about similar matter. Other than those I like reading books and dancing at my spare time. Both which gives me a break from working and studying and refresh my mind.
For now, I am excited about preparing guides for iFixit. As someone who works and studies in Information Technology, I'm really interested in learning more about how I can fix different computer equipment and help users keep their laptops and computers as long as possible to help reduce the waste in our world.
