Hello, my name is Usman 👋

About Me
Welcome to my portfolio, my name is Usman Zafar! This is a "headquarters" showcasing my projects and experiences that define my journey in technology as a full stack developer. My enthusiasm for coding and development, spanning both mobile and web platforms, comes from the thrill of creating complex systems from scratch, guided by a blend of creative and critical thinking.
I specialize in JavaScript/TypeScript, with a particular focus on React, including both React JS and React Native. However, my expertise extends beyond this to encompass a wide range of skills and tools such as Python, Java, GraphQl, RESTful API, Google APIs, AWS services, automation, devops, and much more. I'm committed to continuous learning, exploring new languages, tools, and practices, while refining my existing abilities.
Beyond the world of coding, my interests are all over the place. I'm a big motorcycle and car enthusiast, a snowboarder (not exactly pro but I have fun), gamer, and I'm big on sports like soccer, basketball, and football. I also love to explore new places through travel!
