About my
work
Navid Ahmed
Valley Stream, NY,--
I’ve spent 10 years crafting applications that solve real problems—not just writing code. My
sweet spot is taking ideas from wireframes to live products that handle thousands of users. I
care deeply about why we build things, not just how. When I’m not coding, you’ll find me
sketching UI improvements or helping teammates untangle complex bugs.

Why I’m Different
"I thrive in the messy middle between product vision and technical execution. Give me a
whiteboard session with designers, and I’ll return a working prototype that feels right. I fix
legacy code without ego, optimize systems that others call ‘fine,’ and genuinely enjoy
helping teammates grow. If you need someone who ships quality without the drama — let’s
talk."
