My Journey into Web Development

My passion for technology started at the age of 11 when my father bought a desktop for my older sister in 2008. I was fascinated by it, learning how to turn it on and off, and eventually, I started exploring Windows XP’s built-in photo editor to draw flags and houses. Gaming became my daily routine—so much so that I managed to burn out the PC several times! Eventually, my sister gave up on using it, and the computer was left to rest in peace.

A few years later, I got access to the internet through my mobile phone, which opened a new world of learning. I discovered websites and became curious about how they were built. Determined to create my own, I asked my father to buy me a laptop, and he did. That was the beginning of my journey into web development. I started with Photoshop, believing design was the key, but soon transitioned into learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap in 2016. Around the same time, I discovered SEO (both on-page and off-page) through YouTube and online courses.

My next step was offering my services online. I started freelancing on Fiverr, developing HTML templates, and even submitted three templates to ThemeForest. That’s when I first heard about WordPress. At first, PHP seemed intimidating, but I was determined. With constant practice, I became proficient in WordPress theme development, building websites with Avada, WPBakery, and other page builders.

By 2018, I was successfully providing WordPress development services on Fiverr and Upwork. My first gig was fixing bugs and errors in WordPress websites, and after receiving positive feedback from clients, I never looked back. Over time, I expanded my services to include membership website development, custom theme and plugin development, and advanced API integrations.

I never stopped learning. I continuously upskilled through YouTube tutorials and Udemy courses, mastering Laravel, React, Tailwind CSS, and advanced PHP REST API development. My dedication paid off—I completed over 1000+ projects on Fiverr, maintaining a 4.9-star rating. I also worked directly with clients and, last year, joined Binary Fabric as a Lead Developer in a part-time role.

Today, I am actively seeking new opportunities where I can bring my expertise, contribute to a team, and continue growing in my career. I am passionate about building high-performance WordPress websites, optimizing user experiences, and pushing the boundaries of web development.
