Hey, I'm Ahmed.

Open to backend, frontend & full-stack roles

I'm a Computer Science grad from UC Berkeley, and I'm at my best working through problems that don't have an obvious answer yet.

What keeps me interested in this field is getting to build things people actually use, whether that's the backend logic that keeps something running or the interface that makes it feel simple. I like working across the stack, and I'm always looking for the next thing to learn.

Take a look at what I've built below. Let's get in touch.
