About Me

I’m Yousef Habeeb — a Software Engineer based in Chicago. I currently build Java and JavaScript solutions at CBRE, where I work directly with enterprise clients across government and tech to ship software that runs real operations. I studied Computer Science at UIC, where I also did NLP research and taught Python and C as a TA. I like working close to the problem — whether that’s wiring up cloud APIs, optimizing a backend, or building a product from scratch. Currently open to new opportunities.
