About
I'm Akram Rihani — a developer whose roots run through backend architecture and whose obsessions run through interface craft. I speak fluent Java, Spring Boot and API design, and equally fluent React, TypeScript and WebGL.
That's an unusual combination for a reason: the best digital experiences feel effortless because the system underneath is boring-efficient. I build both halves.
