Journey
I was born in 1997 in Pakistan, and my path hasn't been a typical one. My early years were spent on Islamic studies, and I didn't actually start formal school until I was 11 years old. I remember starting in class 2, much older than everyone else and feeling like I was already miles behind. Because of that late start, I had to move fast, jumping through only odd-numbered classes while constantly fighting self-doubt. It took years of intense effort, sometimes working 18 hours a day, to catch up and eventually find my place in the tech world.
Experience
I have always been fascinated by web technologies and how they can transform the way we communicate, learn, and work. My journey as a web developer began in 2016, when I started building pet projects with HTML and CSS as an undergraduate student. This sparked my interest and passion for web development, and helped me land my first internship.

I create educational content with a passion to empower individuals on their career journeys.

Testimonial
I had the pleasure of working alongside Asad for about two years, during which he consistently brought exceptional technical insight and a collaborative spirit to our team. One of his standout contributions was introducing the concept and implementation of a backend-for-frontend (BFF) approach, a transformative addition that greatly enhanced our frontend efficiency and performance. His deep understanding of BFF enabled us to streamline data flow and deliver a more cohesive user experience, meeting high standards of responsiveness and scalability. In addition to his technical expertise, Asad shines in his interpersonal skills. He is a highly communicative and open colleague who actively seeks and provides feedback. His openness fosters a team environment where ideas are freely exchanged, and solutions are enriched. This combination of skill and collaborative spirit makes Asad an invaluable asset to any team. I can confidently recommend him to any future employer looking for a forward-thinking, skilled, and supportive developer.
A fast learner developer, Asad was a very good contributor to the project we worked on together. Within a short time after entering the project, he contributed directly to the codebase with high coding standards and with improvement proposals in maintainability and reusability.
