Simon Achkar

Senior Software Developer at REDspace

I build digital solutions for the web


I am a Full-Stack Developer with over 6 years of experience, specializing in designing, building, and hosting web projects.

Originating from Lebanon, my early passion for computers lead me to a BSc in Computer Science at the University of Balamand. In 2018, I embarked on a journey to the East Coast of Canada, to pursue my Master’s degree at Saint Mary’s University.

Currently I’m based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I continue my journey in the world of software development, exploring innovative solutions with REDspace, indulging myself in side projects on the weekends, and occasionally sharing my expertise as a guest lecturer in front-end development at Saint Mary’s University.

When I’m not looking at a screen, I play music on the Oud and sing sometimes.
