Hey, I'm Faris! (he/him) 👋
I’m a software engineer who cares deeply about building fast, thoughtful, and well-designed products. Over the past five years I’ve worked across many layers of the stack, primarily focused on frontend systems, refining interactions, and making interfaces feel purposeful and responsive. I enjoy systems thinking just as much as product polish, whether that means improving reliability, smoothing out abstractions, or tightening performance. I try to approach every project with intention and a high bar for quality, always looking for the small decisions that make a product feel cohesive. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me exploring new coffee and tea spots, chasing sunsets, listening to live music, or traveling somewhere new.
