$ man usman

About Me

NAME

usman ghani — backend-leaning full-stack developer

usman [--stack node,bun,hono,express,drizzle,sql] [--os debian] [--status building]

DESCRIPTION

I build backend systems and the services behind them — Node, Bun, Hono, and Express, with Drizzle and Prisma for the data layer, and Better Auth handling identity.

I run Debian day to day, and Docker, Git, and GitHub Actions are all things I use for real, not just know about — CI runs on every push to userPost, and I manage the deployment myself.

Comfortable across most of that stack. Still building depth in raw SQL beyond what the ORM gives me, and in DevOps and Python more broadly.

NOTICE — Not open to freelance or employment work right now. Focused on building.
