About

Hi, I’m Faiz Ahmed — a full stack developer specializing in Angular, React.js, Next.js, and Node.js. I build fast, scalable, and user-friendly web applications with a strong focus on clean design and seamless UX.

With a background in Computer Science and a passion for self-driven learning, I combine solid fundamentals with a love for JavaScript, AI, UI/UX, and emerging tech like Web3.

Based in Kenya, I’m open to both local and global opportunities where I can contribute, collaborate, and create impactful digital solutions.
