I'm a passionate MERN stack developer from Malappuram, Kerala, on a mission to become a strong backend engineer and eventually a software architect. I love breaking down complex systems, learning how they work at scale, and building things that solve real problems — whether it's a SaaS product or my next startup idea.
I come from a unique background (BA in Arabic + English) and I bring that same discipline for structure and language into my code. I'm looking for a mentor or a learning environment that can guide me toward that 15+ LPA role and FAANG-level engineering thinking.
