shihab

Senior Software Engineer

Call me Shihab (aka CoderMonkey🐒).

I am a developer with a Bachelor’s in Electrical engineering ⚡️. I wanted to be an electrical engineer and thought programming was monotonous ♻️ and boring 😶. I only learned about coding after high school. When I sat for my first computer class, I thought it would be more about hardware🔩 and stuff 🧰. I always wanted to understand how things work and was thrilled to see how computers run our code. Moreover, making a dump machine do work ⛏️ was astounding ✨ (still I can feel my first "Hello World!" 🤩 ). 

It was accidental that I became a developer (DM 📮 for the story). Thanks to freeCodeCamp and YT, I learned coding on my own. I get bored with things quickly (I quit Money Heist with S01). Luckily, I learned JS 🛡️, and there is a new framework or library bi-monthly (not kidding) to keep me busy 😬. 

I came to know about browser inspector ⚙️ only at my first job, and this made me a good fit for being a frontend developer 👨‍💻. I have been working with JS and React ⚛️ for eight years now.

For my next role, I'm looking for a place where I can create a great impact. Good team, and an awesome product (something that I can brag about).
