Assalmu Alaikum & Hi!

I am Saad. Working as a software engineer in Malaysia.

I am a mobile application developer. Focused mainly on React Native. I love to build smooth and beautiful mobile apps that solves real-world problems!

WHY THIS SITE?

This space is my "digital knowledge garden". This is my attempt to document my learning and findings. Bonus Point - Someone in the internet may find my space useful!

TECH STACK THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH

React native

React Native is my main tech stack. I fell in love with React Native in 2017. Since then I have been working full-time with React-Native. Both in my full-time job and my side projects.

JAVASCRIPT

Yes, you guessed it right! It all comes to JS at the end of the day. There is so much to explore in JAVASCRIPT. I am always trying to keep up to date with JS ecosystem.

React

Since my main tech stack is React-Native. Naturally, I love React! Even though I do not work with the web app frequently but it is very straightforward for me to switch to React anytime!

Native App development

I am very keen to explore Native app development in order to bring my skills to the next level as a react native app developer.

My work

I am a big fan of learning while building. I have created multiple projects, some of them are my professional projects and some of them are experimental just to explore & learn.

How am I growing?

MOBILE APP

- Obviously, as an app developer, my main focus is to take my skill to the next level in app development. Few topics that I want nail down in app this space are the following - Testing, Animation, Design System

FUNDAMENTALS

- As a javascript developer professionally, I am strengthening my fundamentals of javascript and react. Trying to write more clean, scalable and efficient code.

BACKEND SUPPORT

- Even though I am a front-end dev, my plan is to learn as much as backend related stacks possible that would help me to create a complete app from front to back!
Focusing on NODEJS & FIREBASE
