About Munawwar
Hi. I have worked as a founding full-stack web developer in multiple companies (mostly e-commerce and 3PL logistics) for more than a decade and I can help you build your company.
Do you use node.js, AWS, React? I'll excel in that stack. Even if it's not that stack, I can learn new ones. Generally frontend and backend development has been my primary experience. I have a computer science background and been coding since high school (back then C/C++).
Over the years, I have trained multiple juniors to become full stack devs (*real* full stack - frontend, backend and infra).
As expected of devs these day, I use coding agents (codex mainly, claude sometimes). I review LLM code, I don't drop quality standards just because it's easy to do so with coding agents.
I write open-source code as a hobby: github.com/Munawwar
And occasionally write about tech: codepasta.com
