README

👋 Hey, I'm Ahmed. I build fast, accessible web and mobile experiences. I'm a frontend software engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, developing, and maintaining large-scale Single Page Applications and client-facing portals. At Prizmsol, I've led the design and development of a suite of products that help organizations manage their data and workflows more effectively.

I specialize in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with a strong foundation in modern web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, along with experience in jQuery, Bootstrap, Backbone.js, and REST API integrations (JSON/XML). I'm comfortable owning projects end-to-end—from architecture and technical documentation to risk assessment and QA/UAT.

I'm passionate about building intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that are accessible to everyone, with a strong focus on WCAG 2.x AA, AODA, and WAI-ARIA standards across web and mobile platforms.
