Hi 👋, I'm Fahad (/fähæð/)

I'm a Software Engineer^* from 🇧🇩; living in Berlin 🇩🇪.

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 don't believe in sticking to one tech stack. That said, I'm most experienced at making web apps using React, Node, and (more recently) Go. I enjoy learning about new technology (languages/frameworks/libraries/syntax…) and I'm usually willing to try out new ideas and even pay the early-adopter tax if the tech seems awesome.

• 🔭 I'm currently "working" on: Producing more music
• 🌱 I'm currently learning: working on a kubernetes certification
• 👯 I'm looking to collaborate on: music, OSS
• 💬 Ask me about: react, frontend, js, fp, go, and music.
• 📝 I ^{_{almost never}} write articles on: my blog mildlyboring.com and dev.to/fa7ad.
• 🔥 Hot Take: coffee is the best beverage mankind has ever created.
• 📫 How to reach me: shoot a mail at setname.fahad AT gmail.com.
• 💅 Pronouns: He/Him/His.

• Making ^{_{(not necessarily good)}} music: self-taught, play the guitar a little, slightly better on the keyboard. I mostly make music on a DAW and a MIDI controller. See the music page for links.
• Listening to music: my current favorite genres are Hardgroove, "Disco"-y House, and Trap. Always on rotation.
• Reading: mostly non-fiction nowadays
• Tinkering with software/hardware in my spare time. I will spend hours to automate a 5 min task, simply because its fun.
