I’m Ahmed, a software
and biomedical engineer.

Software AND biomedical, not software with biomedical, not biomedical with software.
I’ve worked too hard in this dual degree taking ALL the software courses, and ALL the BME courses to be seen as less qualified than a normal software engineer or biomedical engineer.
