After my HSC exams, I scored a GPA of 3.89 — not enough to get into any top colleges or universities. Like many others, I pushed myself to prepare for the GST exam, hoping for a breakthrough. But when the merit list came out, my name wasn’t there. I started thinking about admitting into a private university for CSE. It felt like my only option… until a close friend, Monjur, told me about a programming course. That conversation changed everything. I took the course, fell in love with coding, and never looked back. I taught myself web development — starting from HTML and CSS, diving into JavaScript, then mastering React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. What started as a backup plan turned into a passion. Today, I’m a full-stack developer who builds with intention and learns with purpose. Every line of code I write carries the weight of that early struggle — and the motivation to prove to myself and others that where you start doesn’t define where you end up. I’m here not just to work, but to grow, collaborate, and make meaningful contributions to the tech world.
