A little about me

Behind
the bear.

I'm Taha. I build software that feels as good as it works.

I've built diverse web and mobile experiences throughout my development journey. Currently advancing my Computer Science education at FAST University, I combine academic foundations with hands-on expertise to create solutions that balance functionality and user experience.

Today, I lead Batwa as CTO and co-founder, building a local-first personal finance app with privacy at its core. I'm happiest where a difficult technical problem meets a thoughtful, simple solution.

The journey
so far.

From first interfaces to leading teams and building my own product.
