Fahaad A.

Software Engineer focused on full-stack development, with a cybersecurity background.

Hi, I’m Fahaad, a Software Engineer based in Zürich, with a strong interest in cybersecurity and performance-first web apps.

I like building clean, fast interfaces and the backend plumbing that makes them reliable in production.

Recently I’ve been focusing on React, TypeScript, Java, and platform topics (CI/CD, containers).

I’m also pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity, and I take data privacy seriously.

Summary

  • 5+ years across frontend + backend (React, Java, SQL).
  • Strong on problem solving, log analysis, requirements & documentation, and cross-team working groups/committees.
  • Solid foundations from a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering; M.Sc. Cybersecurity in progress.

Skills

  • Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Electron, Tailwind, Angular, MDX/Contentlayer , Bootstrap
  • Backend: Java, Spring Boot, OSGi, Node.js, REST APIs
  • Data / Infrastructure: SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL), Redis (Upstash), Docker, Debian, GitLab/GitHub, CI/CD

Values & ways of working

  • Clarity first: clean APIs, readable code, and docs that people actually use.
  • Reliability: tests, logs, and observability before scale.
  • Security by design: simple, audited flows over clever hacks.
  • Team player: I stay calm when things break and focus on fixing, not blaming.
