About

๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Faizan, a full-stack engineer and self-proclaimed magician with Typescript. I've spent the past 7+ years in Silicon Valley building robust applications, hacking on small projects, and everything in between. I've likely run into your scenario/bug and can solve it.

๐ŸŒ Background:
Ever seen the hit TV show Silicon Valley? I lived (live?) it!

From being the sole engineer behind a prestigious accelerator-funded startup, to owning the landing page of one of the most widely used apps (100 million+ users) in the country, I've picked up a few things.

I'm currently in San Francisco, at the heart of the AI craze, learning from and growing with the best!

๐Ÿ“šSkills
I specialize in the Javascript stack with expertise in Typescript.

Well-versed in building backend services and serverless functions in Node.js, talking to SQL/no-SQL databases, and frontend applications in React and Next.js.

I can help in every step of the stack - from app conception to deployment (AWS, Vercel) and scaling, including local development best practices, testing, logging/alerting, and structure/layout. Typescript is my magic weapon.

I pride myself on strong written + oral communication skills, and I know how to convey the right amount of information in a package unique to your understanding of a topic.

My core principle is empathy - understanding your unique situation & background allows me to work with you to develop the ideal solution for your specific problems.

๐Ÿš€ I can:
- Help you overcome that nagging imposter syndrome
- Guide experienced engineers in another stack into the Javascript ecosystem
- Walk you through the process of advocating for that promotion
- Help you work smarter, not harder, with CLI scripting, keyboard shortcuts, dev tools
- Show you the best practices in developing in the Javascript ecosystem - from start to production.
- Most importantly, I can find gaps in your knowledge and fill them so you can be a better you!

๐Ÿ† I'm new to MentorCruise, but you can glance at the many 5-star reviews on my CodeMentor profile here :)

What happens when you start

You tell Faizan your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Faizan reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
