About
Hi, I'm Shaahid.
(The “ZX” was added back when slapping letters onto your handle made you 40% cooler online, and now I'm simply too deep into the bit to drop it.)
Since the hero section already told you about writing code and making UI that won't hurt your eyes, here's the rest: I build things mostly out of spite. When a tool I need doesn't exist, I just make it. Most of my projects start as a hyper-specific personal annoyance, and my general rule is to build something functional and make sure it looks good enough to distract you from the fact that I'm figuring it out as I go. Right now, I'm on a public mission to ship 100 of them.
Professionally, I care about clean layouts, fast load times, and actually hitting “Publish” instead of hoarding half-finished Figma files. Unprofessionally, I will silently redesign your app in my head while you're demoing it to me.
Currently
- Building
- The next one out of 100.
- Listening to
- 505 by Arctic Monkeys on loop while pretending I'm in an indie movie coding montage.
- Scrolling
- Dangerously deep into aesthetic desk setup reels on Instagram instead of sleeping.
- Obsessing over
- Finding the absolute perfect, non-aggressive shade of off-white.
- Dodging
- The realization that I eventually have to write documentation for all of this.
