Background

About Fardeem Munir

Currently, I'm a software engineer at Ramp. I am actively exploring AI Engineering and building Lalah - a meditation app for muslims on nights and weekends. I recently graduated from Northwestern University. During my time there, I was working at Centered, a productivity startup out of SF. Juggling school and a startup, was a lot - but I learnt more than I could have ever had. In many ways, Centered was my real CS undergrad. Still reading? Here's more. In 5th grade I was promised that if I learned how to code I would make lots and lots of money on the internet. The money never came, but I did fall in love with coding. I have been hacking ever since. My first big project was when the Bangladesh government blocked all social media sites, I wrote a chat app for my friends. I had no idea how I'd do it so I learnt javascript over a summer and got it done. I still love JS, but am more promiscuous and have a secret love affair with Rust. I was also reading a ton of Paul Graham essays at the time and just became obsessed with startups (and tried doing one in 7th grade. lolz) As such, I'm deeply curious about marketing, sales, finance, venture and all the ingredients that gets mixed together to make a startup - although I’d say my core strength is still the technicals. It would be wonderful to start something of my own someday. Other than tech, I just really enjoy learning. I do a lot of learning through books but I greatly enjoy learning from people (that would be you!). If some of this, any of this resonated with you I would love to talk to you!
