Biography

I build web apps end to end, from the API to the part people click.

I'm Jad Zakhem, a full-stack developer and Computer Science student at Notre Dame University – Louaize, graduating in May 2026. I'm Canadian, based in the Beirut area of Lebanon.

My work runs the whole stack: backend APIs, authentication, and databases on one side; conversion-focused interfaces on the other. Right now I'm building Pofo, a portfolio-website service for clients.
