Hi, I'm Imad Archid!
Senior Full Stack Developer at Spring Studios Bahrain
My name's Imad, i have 4+ years experience building fintech & edtech products with clients around the world. I am mainly interested in financial technology, startups, and venture capital. I consider myself to be at the intersection of tech and finance, and I love working on disruptive solutions around the areas of personal finance, decentralized finance, and other fintech areas. Given that I have spent most of my time working with early stage-startups, I am now interested in gaining experience with startups that are ready to scale (post-PMF/Series A+).
