I'm Aaftab Vhora.
I build things for the web mobile everything.
A Full Stack Developer who drinks too much coffee and writes code that (mostly) works on the first try. From pixel-perfect UIs to backend architectures that don't crumble under pressure.
About
The TL;DR
I'm a Toronto-based dev who refuses to choose between Web and Mobile, so I just do both. My specialty? Taking "it's impossible" and turning it into a pull request.
When I'm not wrestling with CSS centers or debugging async loops, I'm probably automating something that would have taken 5 minutes to do manually. Efficiency is key!
I speak fluent React, Node, and TypeScript, but I'm also quite cozy with the cloud. If it runs in a Docker container or deploys via GitHub Actions, I'm happy.
My Utility Belt
Web & Mobile
Apps so smooth you'll forget they're code.
Cloud Buffet
AWS, GCP, Azure—I've tasted them all.
