1. What do you do and why do you do it? (tell us your story)

I do a lot of things like freelancing, developing few of my own projects, I write technical blogs and also teach what I know through platforms like YouTube, hackernoon, Instagram etc. I’m a computer engineer and in my career I have touched surface of different tech like ML, AI, Chatbots, App development, and Web development. I stick with web development because it provides the digital face for you and your business/brand, and I love to create cool websites. I teach people what I think I wish I knew before I started and guide junior web developers through my videos and blogs.


2. Tell us more about the things you create / write / manage / build!

For now I mostly create websites in React/Gatsby/NextJS. I’m working on few of my own projects and I write blogs on different topics such as frontend, react, react-components etc. I’m planning to write more on topics which will help junior developers in their journey. I manage my Youtube channel as well as different social media accounts for it.


3. How did you end up on your current career path? Do you like it?


I have been using computer since I was in 2nd grade, so yes I know the old html to this new React-like frameworks. Internet is like a digital world and your website is like a digital face in that world, which shows off your business and your skills.

4. What tech are you most excited or passionate about right now and why?


I’m really excited about JAM stack and web3.0. Nowadays you got tools like JAM stack to convert your ideas to digital presence faster than the old fashioned ways. You don’t have to waste time and money to create your dream project/website. So I wanted to make more use of this JAM stack and also want to get my hands on with Web3.0 to create something more valuable.


5. What tech are you most worried about right now and why?


For now I’m worried about the future of cryptocurrency, Web3.0 and NFTs since there are lots of hype about them yet we can not control and predict what will happen next. Also sometimes big celebrities can manipulate these things with just their social media and that needs to be changed.


6. If we gave you 10 million dollars to invest in something today, what would you invest in and why?


Obviously I could say cryptocurrency but NO.

I will invest in VR and AR technologies. Just Imagine how much change this technologies can bring. Like in the filed of Education (students can easily learn through VR) and also great gaming experience. It can go beyond human’s physical abilities and it’s like living in a dream but with your consciousness.


7. What are you currently learning?


Currently I’m more focused on learning more about JAM stack and Web3.0. Also I’m learning more on how to create more high-performing websites and applications which can run across different devices.


8. What’s the best advice you’ve ever given someone?


Don’t doubt yourself until you have tried things. Just try it: either you will succeed or it will give you a great experience. Failure is when you stop trying and just stay still/confused. Wake up and keep trying.


9. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

I received a lot’s of great advices from great people and few of them are👇

  • Live your life at fullest in each and every moment whether it’s success or failure.
  • Only focus on things that you can control
