WORKED WITH ME AT LITMUSBLOXI had the pleasure of working with Adnan closely at PeopleBlox. He's really hardworking and has in-depth knowledge of the technology he's working on, with a strong hold on frontend technologies like React and Redux along with Next.js. He entirely set up the initial code and created solid guidelines to maintain it — and it's still helping us. He's also a calm person and works well even under pressure or difficult deadlines.
As a designer, I collaborated with Adnan on multiple projects, and his ability to understand design requirements and seamlessly integrate them into development was invaluable. He consistently took the initiative to improve the user experience and optimise functionality. His attention to detail and strong coding skills made our collaboration smooth and highly productive — a true team player.
Adnan has been a true leader and mentor to me at PeopleBlox. His expertise in React, Redux and Next.js, and his ability to set up the architecture and establish strong codebase guidelines, has been essential to our team's success. His calm demeanour makes him a highly likable teammate who handles pressure effortlessly. He guided me from the ground up.
Five years of frontend, two of them responsible for other people's code.
I specialise in React, Next.js and TypeScript — performant interfaces backed by architecture a team can actually maintain. I've led a frontend team of five, set conventions and tooling for new products, and shipped a full-stack platform end to end on my own. I write about the work, and lean on AI-assisted workflows to move faster without giving up rigour. Off the clock: long walks around Niagara and too many coffees.
