His coursework at New York University included classes such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Network Security, Applied Cryptography, Real Analysis, Advanced Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations. At NYU, Redwan maintained a 3.5/4.0 GPA, partook in various NYU projects as a research assistant, and acquired the Deep Learning Specialization Certification under Andrew Ng, a leading member of the Artificial & Machine Learning community. While in college, Redwan was a Machine Learning Software Intern for Spheryx Solutions Redwan graduated from the Bronx High School of Science with an Advanced Regents Diploma with AP distinction. His Regents average as 98/100, winning him automatic NYS Regents scholarships. Redwan scored a 2250/2400 on the old version of the SAT, with a perfect 800 in the math section, and a 35/36 ACT score. Red earned a score of 800/800 on several SAT subject tests including Chemistry, Math I, Math II, and Physics. He has also earned a 4/5 and 5/5 on multiple AP examinations including AP Calculus BC (5), AP Physics C: Mechanics (5), AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism (5), AP Chemistry (5), AP US History (4), AP World History (4), and AP Human Geography (4). Outside of the classroom, Redwan was a leading member of the Bronx Science Math Team. As a starter for the team, he participated in many different prestigious mathematics competitions including the American Math Competition (AMC) and AIME/USAMO. He was a part of the Intel Talent Search program (now called Regeneron) with a focus on mathematics and wrote multiple mathematics research papers. Redwan was famously recognized as the teacher of an  SHSAT  who gained fame in the news and on TV for his acceptance. In, particular, Redwan’s student Sebastian Acevedo was one of only 33 Hispanic students to receive an offer to Stuyvesant. Sebastian beat the odds and was featured in the New York Post.

For fun, Redwan enjoys playing basketball, playing videogames, and going on adventures with friends and family. Redwan speaks English and Bengali fluently. He is a child of Bengali immigrants and the first one to attend a top college and work in the engineering field. At Kweller, Redwan helps students reach their maximum potential by teaching them to appreciate the aesthetics of Math and Science, rather than fearing the subjects. He is currently working on improving his Arabic, Spanish, and Korean. Redwan is excited to teach an in-person coding class at Kweller Queens.
