Summary
Farid Guzman is a multidisciplinary Software Engineer and Interaction Designer based in The Hague with eight years of experience building user-focused web and SaaS applications using Vue, React and TypeScript across MERN/MEVN and Firebase stacks. He blends front-end craftsmanship (Vue3, React, Three.js, GSAP) with backend familiarity (Laravel, Node, MongoDB, Planetscale/Prisma, Docker, Kubernetes) to deliver polished products from prototype to production. Farid has shipped domain-specific software for industrial 3D metal printing, transport & logistics, and telephony/messaging platforms, often improving UX through Figma-driven design and component testing (Storybook, Cypress). As a cofounder of a creative studio he pairs audiovisual, sound and installation art sensibilities with engineering rigor, giving his interfaces a distinctive interactive edge. Comfortable in Agile teams and DevOps workflows, he frequently refactors systems for scale and maintainability while exploring Rust, C# and Python in hybrid environments.
