Hello, I'm Zain — a software engineer specializing in full-stack web development with TypeScript.
I build responsive interfaces, scalable backend systems, and real-world applications with production-grade quality and meticulous attention to detail.
About me
I’m a Computer Engineering graduate and full-stack developer with a passion for building useful, reliable web applications.
Since graduating, I’ve completed two coding bootcamps and earned the following certifications:
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate
- AWS Certified Developer – Associate
- Google IT Automation with Python
I’ve built multiple freelance applications and several personal projects to sharpen my skills. My core stack includes React, Next.js, and TypeScript (NestJS), with MySQL and PostgreSQL on the database side. I also have hands-on experience with Docker and CI/CD pipelines.
Beyond TypeScript, I’ve built full-stack projects using C# (.NET) and Java (Spring Boot), created frontends with Angular, and even built a compiler in C. I enjoy learning new tools and adapting quickly.
Technology isn’t just work for me—it’s a genuine passion. I actively follow the software world and enjoy staying up to date with emerging tech. I'm always eager to learn and grow—both personally and professionally.
Outside of tech, I enjoy gaming, movies and TV, music, and books. (Ask me about Hollow Knight!)
