About me
Hi, I'm Yazan.
I work across backend systems, mobile apps, and web development — with real-world experience in fintech, e-commerce, and education tech. Currently building a cross-border payment platform, and available for select freelance projects.
I care about writing clean, reliable software and sharing what I know — you can find my technical writing on the blog.
