About Me
Hey there, I'm Naem Shahzad! I started my coding journey back in 2020, diving into the basics of building websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I quickly moved on to learning React.js, a popular library for building user interfaces, and started creating real projects with it. In late 2021, I decided to explore the backend side of development. I learned technologies like Node.js, which allows me to build server-side applications, and Nest.js, a framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications with TypeScript. I also got into PHP and Laravel, two widely used technologies for backend development. Alongside these, I also picked up skills in working with databases like SQL (structured query language), MongoDB (a popular NoSQL database), and Sequelize (an ORM for Node.js). These tools help me store and manage data efficiently for my applications. One of my strengths is working with AWS (Amazon Web Services) console operations. AWS provides a range of cloud computing services, and I've become proficient in using them to deploy and manage applications. Overall, I've grown into a seasoned senior backend developer, passionate about designing strong solutions that push the boundaries of digital innovation.
Experience
2020 - late 2021
Front-End Developer
Basic Front-End with frameworks React.js Next.js
I embarked on my front-end journey, mastering HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before swiftly advancing to React.js. Notably, I completed a project for Massal, an Australian clothing brand, showcasing my initial proficiency. Transitioning to Next.js, I entered the professional realm, leading projects for key clients like Giisty. Spearheading Giisty's portfolio and Khowledge_hub, a knowledge-sharing platform, exemplified my dedication. Across this period, I contributed to four to five production-grade projects, refining my skills and commitment to front-end excellence.
2021 - early 2022
Front-End/Back-End
In late 2021 and early 2022, our company transitioned to a PHP and Laravel project, marking my entry into backend development. Embracing this shift, I immersed myself in mastering PHP and Laravel, leveraging my prior knowledge of SQL for database integration. Notably, I spearheaded "Flutter Love," an American marriage platform, utilizing Laravel for its backend architecture. This pivotal experience not only solidified my expertise in PHP and Laravel but also initiated my journey as a backend developer, enriching my understanding of comprehensive web development practices.
2022 - Onward
Back-End
Since early 2022, my journey has evolved into that of a senior backend developer. Transitioning to Node.js, I embarked on several impactful projects for our client, Giisty, utilizing Nest.js framework with Sequelize ORM and TypeScript. Notable among these ventures are Kuver, a bond trading platform, Giisty, a platform for creating and sharing video tutorials, and DealersHive, a wholesale marketplace for watches. Within these projects, I assumed multiple roles beyond backend development, including testing, quality assurance, and project leadership for DealersHive. This comprehensive involvement allowed me to ensure not only the functionality but also the overall quality and success of the applications.
