Hi 👋, I'm Fahad (/fähæð/)
Glad to see you here!
I'm a Software Engineer from Bangladesh; living in Berlin, Germany. I'm working as a Senior Frontend Developer at Virtual Minds at the moment, formerly employed at @aws, Westwing, Digital Health, and a few other places.
I make web apps using React and stuff. I enjoy learning about new technology (languages/frameworks/libraries/syntax…) and I'm usually willing to pay the early-adopter tax if the tech is awesome.

My Hobbies and Interests
- Listening to music: My current favorite genres are Industrial Techno, Vaporwave, and hyperpop, but my favorite genres are always ch-ch-changing 😁.
- Making (not necessarily good) music: self-taught, play the guitar a little, slightly better on the keyboard. I mostly make music using a DAW (Logic Pro X) and a MIDI controller (Akai MPK Mini MKIII). Currently working on a techno/techno-adjacent track. I'm also into sampling, so if you have any samples you want to share, hit me up 😁. Also, check out my Spotify.
- Reading: non-fiction, fantasy, science fiction, etc. Currently reading Heaven in Disorder by Slavoj Žižek.
- Watching Movies: mostly into Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Action (sometimes its fun to shut off the brain), and Gaspar Noé's weird shit (no idea what that genre is, if there is one).
- Playing games: I'm into single player games that have a good "story" component (like RDR), don't really get the time/energy to play multiplayer games.
- Hiking: Not an expert by any means, more of a fair-weather hiker. Bavarian pre-alps were super fun, but now this is on semi-permanent hold because Berlin is flat as a pancake.
- Tinkering with software/hardware in my spare time. I will spend hours to automate a 5 min task, simply because its fun.
