Front-end developer & Open-source contributor

I'm Achraf Chowdury, a front-end developer with a passion for building interfaces. While my background may not be traditional in this field, I believe that experience can add value to the art of front-end development. During my time in front-end development, I honed my skills in Javascript, Typescript, ReactJs, NextJs, Tailwind, NodeJs, Firebase, Appwrite, Cypress, Git & Github, and Figma. These skills have proven my valuable transition to front-end development, as they have allowed me to create multiple projects and participate in hackathons. Additionally, my experience working with coding has taught me the importance of problem-solving and teamwork which I apply when contributing to the open-source. I have been dedicated to pursuing a career in front-end development and am excited to bring my diverse background and experiences to the table.
