Usaila Anjum smiling on the Brooklyn Bridge
Hello!

welcome to my little corner of the internet

I’m Usaila Anjum.

I turn complex technology projects into practical solutions, and I also run a plant business that helps Toronto homes get a little greener. When I’m not working with cloud systems or selling plants, I’m usually planning the next adventure with my cat as my co-pilot.
