🌌 Hello there
I’m Bassam Ismail and I go by skippednote across the internet. I work at Axelerant where I focus on engineering and product development as a Director of Digital Engineering. In the past, I have been working at Clipboard Health, Acquia, and Pixoto.
Although, I have spent majority of my career solving problems on the frontend, I now work across the stack. These days I like to tinker with stuff around infrastructure and distributed systems.
Away from a computer, I love to travel on my bike, exploring the local food scene, and diving into all kinds of intriguing reading material.
