About Me
Get to know me better — my journey, passion, and what drives me to create impactful software.
2+
Years Experience
I'm a software engineer who thrives on transforming complex challenges into elegant, scalable solutions. My journey began at NED University, where I quickly discovered that building software wasn't just about writing code—it was about creating impact.
Today, I specialize in backend development with Node.js and Python, building everything from enterprise HRM systems used by entire companies to AI-powered Shopify apps serving merchants globally. What drives me is seeing real people benefit from the systems I create.
Beyond the technical work, I'm passionate about lifting others up. As an IT Instructor at Bano Qabil, I've taught over 100 students the art of web development, helping them launch their careers in tech. I've organized hackathons, conducted blockchain workshops, and mentored junior engineers—because I believe the best way to grow is to help others grow alongside you.
When I'm not coding or teaching, you'll find me exploring the latest in AI/ML, contributing to open-source projects, or competing in hackathons (where I've been fortunate to win twice). I'm always learning, always building, and always looking for the next challenge that'll push me to become a better engineer.
