About

Hi I'm Abdullah, a full-stack engineer who loves to: - build software products (mostly webapps). - work with existing software products and building features/improvements that have real, tangible impact for end-users. - post content about his engineering experiences and document his journey in public. Currently, I spend my days working on enterprise-scale apps at work with Angular, React, & TypeScript/JavaScript. And my nights: - expanding my general engineering knowledge - working with backend heavy languages and technologies like Ruby on Rails, GoLang, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, & ELK stack etc. Why do I bother writing? Because the 20-year-old-with-no-mentor me would've greatly benefited from the honest, unfiltered experiences & insights I'm sharing now. Yep, that's about it. Follow me if you're into that stuff. Wanna ask me something but we're not connected? Feel free to reach out at: abdullah.workdev@gmail.com
