Amin is a developer and entrepreneur who loves writing clean, test-driven Ruby and ES6 code—wrapped in perfectly crafted containers for CI/CD. In one of his two hackathon wins, he was awarded the first prize from over 300 global entries. In his free time, he authors technical content, contributes to open source projects, and builds fun things. He also co-founded two companies, one of which raised venture capital in Silicon Valley.

Currently

A superhero, full-stack developer, reader, writer, foodie, and a Sunday-guitar-player; all in that order. I write what I like, but sometimes not, and any opinions I express are always my own. I can successfully speak two languages, I hate spinach, and I like my steak medium-well.
