Hello 👋

I'm Ridhwan, a front-end engineer in London. I care about interfaces that feel fast, look sharp, and stay out of the user's way, and I like owning the whole journey from a rough idea to a polished product in production.

I lead digital and technology at Darul Ihsaan, and I shape digital experiences at City St George's, University of London. Before that I studied Information Management for Business at UCL, graduating with First Class Honours, with a year in industry at GlaxoSmithKline's digital team along the way.

Feel free to reach out or grab a coffee with me — I'm open to collaboration opportunities.
