Hey, I'm Ahmed.

Open to backend, frontend & full-stack roles

I'm a UC Berkeley Computer Science grad who's happiest when a problem doesn't have an obvious answer yet.

If I'm being honest, the money is what got me into this field in the first place. That's shifted some over time. These days I think of this degree as something I can actually use to help people, not just a line on a resume, and I think both of those things can be true at once.

Outside of code, I'm probably at the gym, on a long walk, reading, or out looking for some decent scenery. I like staying active, with my body and with whatever's new in tech.

Take a look at what I've built below, or just reach out. I'm easy to talk to.
