Hi,
Welcome to my personal home page.
My name is Siavosh Benabbas.
I'm a junior at
Computer Engineering Dept.
of Sharif University of Technology .
I didn't put much time working on this page, as you see.
I 'm having a difficult semester with 16 units,
leaving me no time to rest,
don't believe, take a look,
and as this semester is much worse than the last,
this page will remain under heavy destruction
for a little more time.
According to Jung my type is INFP meaning: Introverted 67%, Intuitive 22%, Feeling 11% & Perceiving 56%.You can see a description for INFP here or here.
