My Name is

Murtaza Asghar

I build things for the web.

I'm a software engineer specializing in building (and occasionally designing) exceptional digital experiences. Currently, I'm focused on building accessible, human-centered products at Scrapespot.

01.About Me

Hello! My name is Murtaza and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in web development started back in 2012 when I decided to try editing custom Tumblr themes — turns out hacking together a custom reblog button taught me a lot about HTML & CSS!

Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of working at an advertising agency, a start-up, a huge corporation, and a student-led design studio. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences at Scrapespot for a variety of clients.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

JavaScript (ES6+)
TypeScript (ES6+)
React/Next/Vue Js
React Native
Redux/Redux Toolkit
Node/Express/Nest Js
AWS/GCP/Firebase
MongoDb/SupaBase
Unit Testing/Cypress
Tailwind/Material Ui/Ant D
Headless CMS
