A self-taught full-stack JavaScript engineer

I'm Arb. I taught myself to code as a kid and have been at it since 2018. I like building things all the way through: the idea, the design, the code, and the part after launch where real people start using it.

On paper I'm a university student: 3.89 CGPA, Dean's List twice in a row, somehow. Off paper, I'm here, shipping software.

For 5+ years I've been building for clients on Upwork, where I've been Top Rated Plus for over two years.

These days my own thing is Kitty Messages, personalized cat cards people send to the ones they love. I built and run all of it myself, from the card designs to payments to the server it lives on, and I spend a lot of time on the small details, because that's where people feel the care. Read more about it.

Before that, plenty of side projects, two Supabase hackathon prizes (Supadraw and Wordbuzz), and writing about what I learn along the way.

When I'm not building, I'm usually writing poems or taking photos. I've never quite been one thing, and I like it that way.
