From an early age Farid enjoyed playing with computers. He began learning the programming language Visual Basic 6 when he was 12. At 16, he started learning Javascript and was introduced to Node.js thanks to a local meetup. Soon after searching for gaining real world experience, he started his career by doing an internship. He worked his way up throughout the years and became the lead software engineer while at the same time studying for his bachelor’s degree at the University of Nottingham. Now he's working at Olindata as a software engineer, creating chat bots and various other tools to manage the company's internal infrastructure. He tries to give back to the community by answering questions on Stackoverflow and contributing to open source projects every once in a while.
