Hi, my name is Samil Abud
I'm a Full-Stack Web Developer!
About me
I'm a lover of code and problem-solving at heart. I build full-stack products — from auth and dashboards to real-time messaging and payments — and I'm always seeking new challenges to grow as an engineer.
Currently, I'm a freelance developer on Upwork, working primarily with the Expensify application. I enjoy building software from scratch, optimizing applications, hunting down bugs, designing workflows, and collaborating to ship great products.
