Hello, I'm Zaid.
I build full-stack stuff™ using Node.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. I'm familiar with databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
I'm currently really interested in learning lower-level languages such as Rust and Elixir.
I'm the founder of Yoki. On the side, I am a Community Manager for Adobe Creative Career.
Previously a Software Engineer at Fiveable
I've watched 42
animes and spent 254 hrs 43 mins
coding this year.
