## What people said

> I had the chance to meet Faris Aziz in person during the speaker photo session at #ReactSummitUS, and I’m so glad I did — what an incredible engineer and human.

His talk, “Caching, Payloads, and Other Dark Arts: Optimizing UX in Suboptimal Conditions,” was honestly one of the most impressive 20-minute sessions I’ve ever seen. He delivered 5x content with perfect clarity, no confusion, and a beautifully structured walkthrough of the entire caching optimization process.

The way he broke down caching strategies, payload handling, and real-world UX considerations — all with a clear example — was simply masterful. Faris is truly an engineer, an artist, a craftsman, and a speaker all at once.

And beyond the technical brilliance, he brings a natural lightness and positive energy to the room. His humor and presence make complex topics easier to absorb — you walk away feeling both smarter and more energized.

I also enjoyed listening to him during the “Growing to Senior and Tech Lead” discussion. His perspectives were honest, grounded, and incredibly valuable.

Faris, you’re a fantastic engineer, collaborator, and storyteller. 
Thanks you 🙌
