Hi, my name is
Karim Tayie.
I build things for the web.
I’m a self-taught software engineer specializing in building (and occasionally designing) exceptional digital experiences. Currently, I’m focused on building the backend side of Ureed.com at Tarjama.
About Me
Hello! My name is Karim and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in web development started back in 2018 when I decided to study edx's CS50 course, where I embarked on a quest to understand the core principles of computer science. This foundation now beautifully complements my ongoing digital ventures!
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working at an online payment platform, an e-learning platform, and a fintech company. My main focus these days is building the backend side of Ureed.com at Tarjama.
Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:
- Python
- Django
- Flask
- FastAPI
- JavaScript (ES6+)
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- React
- Angular
