Who I Am

About Hesham Sharafaldin

I'm Hesham Sharafaldin — a New York-based aspiring nurse with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Brooklyn College, CUNY. After several years building software — shipping iOS apps, engineering full-stack platforms, and interning at tech companies — I made a deliberate decision to follow a deeper calling: direct patient care and healthcare.

My technology background isn't something I leave at the door. I bring analytical thinking, systems-level problem solving, and a deep understanding of health technology into my nursing journey. I believe the future of healthcare lives at the intersection of compassion and innovation — and that's exactly where I want to be.

Beyond healthcare, I give back through volunteer immigration support with the Arab American Association of New York and remain active in my community.
