Not Currently Listening

Hello, I'm Rida F'kih 👋

I'm a Canadian software developer based in Calgary, Alta., I learned to code in order to make my life a little easier. I currently work @ MaxRewards as a reverse-engineer & fullstack developer.

About Myself 🤘

I'm Rida F'kih. I am 21 years old, Canadian, and a self-taught software developer.

As a teenager I began coding in order to cheat on mobile trivia games like HQ Trivia, which rewarded money for correctly answering trivia questions. Once my passion for development surpassed my passion for making mystical internet money: I moved on, and I've been coding non-stop since.

I love problem solving. I am excited & driven by challenging tasks, and the feeling of overcoming them has resulted in an unwavering love for what I do.

Over the past 6 years I've learned a lot, and I've found myself in two amazing opportunities to share my passion with the next generation of developers by teaching kids to code—and while I've moved on from those experiences—I still continue to gain & share knowledge within the developer community.
