Usman Bashir

I'm a full-stack developer (Ruby/Rails/JavaScript MVCs) who thrives in entrepreneurial environments.

I'm working hard to build Sift; an app that helps you make quick decisions about what to read and watch from the barrage of content you come across daily.

I'm passionate about the web, usability, typography, digital & human rights, Japanese culture, world mythologies, Anime and retro games.

And, I love building great products for people with a focus on user experience.

When I'm not working or developing open source projects, I spend my time learning to play the acoustic guitar, writing, watching anime and tv shows, learning Japanese, reading books, especially about design & development, listening to obscure music, thinking about meaning of life stuff, and generally geeking out.

Come say, hello! I don't bite, promise. :p
