The story so far — in full colour

I’m a full-stack web developer and technology educator from Peshawar, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. My journey didn’t begin in a computer science degree — it began in a double life: studying for a Diploma of Commerce (D.Com) at the Government College of Commerce, Ring Road Peshawar while simultaneously completing a Diploma in Information Technology (DIT) at the same institute. Two different worlds, two different ways of thinking — and I refused to choose between them.

That decision shaped everything since. Commerce taught me how businesses actually work: money flows, ledgers, markets, and the discipline of getting numbers right. Information technology taught me how to build: code, databases, networks, and the craft of turning blank files into working software. Somewhere in the middle, I discovered the thing I love most — taking both worlds apart and explaining them to other people until the “click” happens on their side of the table.

Today, I’m an undergraduate BS Computer Science student at the Institute of Management Sciences (IMSciences), Peshawar — one of the region’s most reputable institutes — and I spend my time on three things: building web products like Handy Tools (the utility suite I co-founded with my brother), learning the AI-era toolkit of Python, agents and prompt engineering — and teaching everything from English grammar to JavaScript to students and parents who want more than rote memorisation. I speak English, Urdu and Pashto fluently, so nothing gets lost in translation when we learn together.
