Hi, I'm Fariha :) I'm a fullstack engineer interested in bridging communities and leveraging the power of many to accomplish social good.

get to know me.

Fariha (fah · ree · uh) :

Previously:
a bright eyed girl with too much time on her hands and access to tumblr.com who built custom themes for blogs using html/css.

Currently:
a full stack developer with over 3 years of professional experience (+ countless years of random side projects) and a BASc in Nanotechnology Engineering from the University of Waterloo


I consider myself a free-spirit and an avid pursuer of many random hobbies. You can talk to me about anything ranging from hiking, video games and sustainability. I'm also a bit of a linguistics nerd and know and/or am learning 7 languages - so come say hi (in whichever language you please)!

work experience.
