01. About Me

Hello! My name is Faruq Alli-Balogun and I enjoy creating beautiful things for people on the internet. My interest in software development started back in 2011 when I met an egyptian on Yahoo messenger, we started talking and he introduced me to Adobe Dreamweaver. I decided to try editing some of the default templates — turns out hacking together a template taught me a lot about HTML & CSS!

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working at one of the leading banks in Nigeriaan ecommerce SEO specialist companythe Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and a crypto currency startup focused on DeFi (Decentralised Finance). My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences for a variety of clients.

I also recently delve into the world of Machine learning and how it can be applied to software development in general, it has been super fun and I hope to write some tutorials or blogs on what I've learnt really soon.

Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently: Javascript (ES6+), Typescript, React, React Native, Styled Component, Styled System, Nest JS, Node JS, TypeORM, Jest.
