About Me

Engineering fluid and responsive web applications

Samir

Hello! I'm Samir

I'm a full-stack software engineer, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, specializing in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). I have a passion for building efficient, user-friendly web applications that solve real-world problems and provide exceptional user experiences.

My expertise lies in JavaScript and its ecosystem, from creating dynamic React frontends to building robust Node.js backends. I enjoy working with MongoDB for flexible data storage and Express.js for clean, scalable server-side development.

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, watching basketball, or trying out new recipes in my kitchen.
