Hello! I am Shafe. Web development has been an incredible journey for me. It's a field that combines creativity, logic, and problem-solving, and it has allowed me to build amazing things that can be used by people all over the world. My journey to becoming a web developer was not a straight path. I started as a tech tinkerer, someone who loved to tinker with technology and see what I could make it do. As I learned more about web development, I became more and more interested in building websites and web applications. In this blog post, I'm going to share my personal story of how I went from a tech tinkerer to a full-stack web developer.

As a tech tinkerer, I was always interested in how things worked. I enjoyed taking things apart and figuring out how they were put together. When I discovered web development in 2021, I was immediately drawn to it. I loved the idea of building something that could be accessed by anyone, anywhere in the world. I started learning HTML and CSS, and I was amazed at how quickly I could create simple websites.

After mastering HTML and CSS, I realized there was so much more to learn. I dove into JavaScript, react, nodejs, restAPI, express, and other web development technologies. I spent countless hours reading books, watching videos, and experimenting with code. I also took online courses and attended meetups to learn from other developers.

As I gained more experience, I started building websites for friends and family. I also practiced from Frontend mentor coding challenges and algorithm for codewars . These experiences allowed me to build my portfolio and showcase my skills to potential clients and employers.

This is a single page website designed by my brother Rafee Alam and developed by me. In this project my focus was to master SCSS and use vitejs new bundler with vanilla JavaScript project.

I am looking forward to continued to learn and grow as a developer, taking on more complex projects and mastering new technologies. I will post my learning journey from now on as a reference for me also for the new learner who interested in learning web development.

Becoming a full-stack web developer has been an incredible journey. It has allowed me to combine my love of technology with my passion for creating things that can make a difference in people's lives. I hope my story inspires others to pursue their own dreams, and to never stop learning and growing as developers.

If you're interested in becoming a web developer, don't be afraid to start small. Learn the basics, build your portfolio, and take on small projects to gain experience. Attend meetups and conferences to network with other developers and learn from their experiences. Most importantly, never stop learning and growing as a developer.
