Where I Started
The Moment It Clicked
I was in a cold computer lab, watching an instructor explain HTML line by line. Like so many beginners, I thought I had to wait - wait for the teacher, wait for the course, wait until I understood.
Then I looked at the lab notes. The documentation was right there. I didn't have to wait.
I wrote the next tag before it was explained. Refreshed the page. The browser did exactly what I told it to do.
That moment - when a solution works - became everything. The tools changed (from HTML to React, from tutorials to projects), but the satisfaction stayed the same.
Where I'm Headed
Current Direction
Current Focus
I'm in my final year of university, preparing for roles at startups and product‑based companies where my work reaches real users and creates real impact. I want to learn from people who think deeply about systems. I'm focused on strengthening my understanding and contributing to open source.
Bookshelf
What I’m Reading and Learning From
A small shelf of books that shape how I think about software, systems, practical problem solving, and growth.
Read
- Atomic Habits - taught me to value systems over motivation.
- HyperFocus - helped me think about attention and deep work.
- Revive Your Heart - shaped how I think about purpose and intention.
- Justju ka Safar - combines both volumes and reinforced reflection and steady growth.
- Akhuwat Ka Safar - strengthened my sense of service and community.
