Hi, I'm Saira Abdulla
Software Engineer crafting clean, responsive UIs with React & Next.js
About Me
I’m a software engineer with a background in Computer Science and a curious mind that's always been drawn to building things with code.
After a brief stint working with Laravel as a backend developer, I took some time to recalibrate and later reignited my passion by diving into the MERN stack. Since then, I’ve focused on front-end development — especially with React and Next.js — and love crafting clean, accessible, and responsive UIs with Tailwind CSS.
I enjoy learning through building real-world projects and occasionally contributing to open source( I even got to make a small contribution to Firefox!). I’m all about thoughtful code, continuous growth, and solving meaningful problems with technology. This site itself is a reflection of my learning — designed and developed from scratch using React, Typescript, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion.
