About Me

Farhan Keriwala

I’m a full-stack developer with a passion for building scalable SaaS products— blending clean frontend UX with powerful backend logic. With a strong foundation in computer science, I work at the intersection of Fintech, AI, and Education.

Whether it’s integrating real-time APIs, deploying ML models, or designing interactive dashboards, I bring a product-first mindset to every line of code.

"I aim to ship fast, reliable, and meaningful software."
