Hello! My name is Hasan, and I'm an independent consultant who helps innovative teams build next-generation products.
How do I do help?
- I offer my extensive leadership expertise for all of the typical aspects of a software project:
- Using design thinking to solve problems with agile software development
- Scaling and training engineering teams, and mentoring junior team members
- Validating a proof-of-concept with prototyping & scoping a minimum viable product (MVP)
- Delivering key demos & pitch presentations for executives, investors and customers
- Documenting accurate and detailed requirements & specifications
- Designing functional and beautiful responsive user interfaces
- Developing an extensible technical architecture that can be iteratively improved
- Executing a transparent implementation process with automated testing, continuous progress updates and regular feedback
- Applying fundamental best practices for application security
- Building with accessibility (WCAG AA compliance) in mind from the start of the project
- I create, record, and sell self-paced online training courses
- I lead live, in-person (or remote) deliveries of my training courses
I have previously delivered and overseen projects and training engagements of all sizes for world-class companies including:
Adidas, Audi, Walmart, Facebook, Deloitte, Fiat-Chrysler, Motorola, John Deere, Morgan Stanley, University of Toronto, Royal Bank of Canada, Rockwell Automation, BlackBerry...and more.
In addition to my consulting work, I'm also an independent software developer building my own apps and services, more details to come soon*
I also founded and lead the Facebook Developer Circle for Toronto, a monthly meetup group for local developers and startups building with the Facebook Developer Platform.
People who have worked with me have said:
"Hasan has been incredible to work with...he brings his technical expertise, thought leadership, creativity and enthusiasm to the team. Hasan is a successful leader because he is laser focused on creating impact, he doesn't shy away from bold ideas, and he is a strong team player with everyone he works with."
Jennifer Fong, Global Lead of Facebook Developer Circles @ Facebook
"Hasan mentored me for my first public speaking workshop, and I was really glad I followed his advice. He consistently finds technology and apps that are a good fit for our projects, and is always ready to help and support. Hasan has always been very helpful and insightful!"
Lissa Ng, Founder & CEO @ MentallyVR
"Every time the UX team at Mitel has worked with Hasan on entries for Mitel's annual innovation competition, we have won. We would go on to win 1st prize, sometimes even 1st and 2nd, one of which was backed by the company and successfully brought to market. Equally important is Hasan's contribution to our cloud strategy programs, which will define our cloud offerings for the forseeable future."
Anders Fahrendorff, User Experience Leader @ Mitel Networks
"I remember very well, the hours [we] spent together working on our B2B Orders app. I learned how to build Angular apps, how to do HTTP authentication, [and] a lot about browser debugging. Good times! :)"
Cezary Madras, Software Engineer @ Adidas
"Anyone looking for a technical solution to their business problem would benefit from working with Hasan."
Haaris Ahmad, CISO, CISSP., IT Cybersecurity Specialist @ U.S. Department of State
"I enjoyed the clarity Hasan brought to technical issues and technical design."
Collin Glass, Tech and Product @ WaystoCap
"What I enjoyed most about working with Hasan was his deep knowledge of various technologies, amazing personal skills, and excellent teaching and presentation skills."
Alex Krasavtsev, Consultant @ Aquent DEV6
"Hasan has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to tooling and libraries. Hasan helped me start an AR (augmented reality) project on the right foot, whereas I would have been lost on my own."
Arsham Eslami, CTO @ Skatescribe
