Abid Hussain
I'm a Developer
My journey began with a premed focus, but I soon discovered my true passion lay elsewhere. After teaching high school and managing a small business, I found new direction driving for Uber, where a chance encounter inspired my dive into web development. I completed a bootcamp, joined Uber as a software engineer, and recently took time off to travel and work on personal projects. I’m excited to build tools that enhance productivity, reward creativity, are fun and bring positive change in the world. In my free time, I love exploring new hiking trails. I also enjoy British comedy shows.
