Waqas Ahmed

Full Stack Blockchain Developer

I started obsessing over GWBasic programs and web design at 17 — earning my first Google cheque of $107 from my first website. Since then I've built LAMP & MERN stack apps, smart contracts in Solidity and Haskell, eCommerce platforms, and decentralised applications.

Currently based in Nicosia, Cyprus — working remotely across the globe.
