About Me

Building fluid and responsive web applications

Samir

Hello! I'm Samir

I'm a full-stack developer based out of California. I specialize in building web applications with the MERN stack, including client dashboards, eCommerce platforms, and custom tools to automate manual work. I also create reusable web components that I share with other developers.

I take on the whole process: understanding client needs, designing solutions, writing code, and shipping. I care about the details, from fast load times and intuitive interfaces to code that's easy to maintain.

Outside of coding, I love hanging out with my furry friends, watching basketball, making a mess in the kitchen, and going on side quests.
