Hi, my name is

Taha Hussain Shah.

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 Gosign GmbH.

About Me

Hello! My name is Taha, and I have a passion for crafting things that exist on the internet. My journey into web development began in 2016 when I first experimented with customizing WordPress themes. Little did I know, tweaking a few elements and creating a personalized navigation bar would teach me so much about HTML & CSS!

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working at a dynamic digital agency and also freelanced on Upwork, for various clients. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences tailored to meet diverse needs.

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

  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • Express.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • WordPress
