Hey, I'm Usman Bashir!

I live and work in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a historic city with a blend of modernity, on the coast of the Red Sea.

Professionally

I help businesses and startups build user-friendly web and mobile apps that are both well designed and useful, making people’s lives easier, for over a decade. Though, I've been writing software in one-form or another, ever since I was 13 years old. What can I say, I caught the computer bug young.

I'm deeply passionate about Software Development, User Experience, Product Design, Business and Technology. Though, if you would like to know more. Then, take a look at my services.

I’m the Lead for Facebook Developer Circle: Jeddah, where I organize monthly events like tech talks, workshops, hackathons, mixins and more for the local tech and startup community. And I'm also the Co-Organizer for Techstars Startup Weekend Jeddah. I'm committed to building an inclusive, healthy and thriving tech ecosystem in Saudi Arabia.

I mentor local developers and startups, guiding them with their goals. And I've also been a mentor for a Startup Accelerator and the recent JUNCTION hackathon in KAUST.

Personally

When not working on something, I enjoy spending my time reading books, watching tv shows and anime, listening to diverse and somewhat obscure music and generally thinking about meaning of life stuff.
