My Story

I'm a self-taught software engineer who turned passion into profession through hands-on experience and continuous learning. Without following a traditional academic path, I immersed myself in the world of programming and software development using real-world challenges as my classroom.

My journey began with free online resources, community forums, and countless hours of practice. Instead of assignments and exams, I learned by building tools that solved actual problems. This practical approach helped me understand the full software development lifecycle—from gathering requirements and designing solutions to deployment and maintenance.

Learning Through Building

I believe in learning by doing. Every project I worked on added new layers to my skills and experience. I started with browser extensions, building tools that enhance web experiences for users across the globe. This led to launching a successful Fiverr business, where I’ve maintained a 4.8-star rating by delivering quality solutions to clients.

As my projects grew, I dove into backend development using Golang. I’ve since built WebSocket servers, REST APIs, and CLI tools that handle real-world production workloads. I also work with Laravel and Python (FastAPI, Django), bringing flexibility and performance to every project.

Sharing Knowledge

I'm passionate about sharing what I learn. Through my YouTube tutorials and Medium articles, I aim to support other developers— especially those on a self-taught path—by offering practical insights and real coding examples.

Current Focus

I’m currently focused on freelance development and open to remote backend engineering roles. My ongoing goals include deepening my knowledge in cloud infrastructure, system design, and emerging technologies, while continuing to build with Golang, Laravel, and modern frontend stacks.

I'm always open to new projects, collaboration opportunities, or simply connecting with fellow developers. Feel free to reach out!
