HIRE ME

A self-motivated, observant, honest and helping programmer with good leadership and team player skills. Also, a rapid learner and always eager to learn.

Oh yes! I have a jolly nature. Just you're invited inside our private chatroom.

 

Enthusiastic Flutter-driven Android/iOS apps and web developer, passionate about complex troubleshooting in the programming field. WordPress plugin developer and translation contributor. An educator, mentor, and blogger publishing technical content for years.

Hi! I'm glad you are here today. This page is my professional biography. So let me introduce you a bit more of this journey.

I changed my professional life to a programmer 14 years ago through freelancing in Windows and Web Development using Microsoft .NET. Before that, I was a Computer Hardware Engineer who didn't enjoy the field that much.

Over the years, I trended myself with various technologies in IT, learned many programming languages and tools, worked with a lot of prestigious clients, took initiatives, and guided many students as well as did help of developers to fix coding issues through the Fellow tuts blog.

At the end of the year 2021, I started learning Flutter as well as the high-performing async programming PHP framework, Open Swoole. At present, I'm building a product (mobile apps + web version) using these technologies and available for freelance work.

Employment



I had been employed at Incsub, LLC (WPMU DEV) as Second Level Support engineer from Jul to Oct 2021. I had two primary roles:

  • Fixing WordPress/Hosting issues forwarded by FLS for clients.
  • Helping the development team to identify bugs and improve products.

It was a pleasant and splendid experience to work there. Nothing was more pleasing than satisfying clients and increasing trust in the company and its products along with a very supportive team and healthy environment.

I have also received appreciation from the higher department for the way I assisted them in quickly identifying issues and improving products by replacing code snippets with better ones.

Educator and Mentor



I have coached professional programming to many young people who were at the stage of starting the career. I experienced that the regular classes or a traditional teacher don't teach the coding that the industry expects. So I trended them from understanding a basic HTML tag to developing a complete and dynamic website.

I have also guided students to choose the right career. After identifying the skills and potentials, I've encouraged many of them to opt for alternative careers like Designing.

Testimonials



Before I came here, I didn't know anything about PHP or any platform. But after 6 months of study from Amit Sir, my skills had improved much quicker than I ever expected. I absolutely recommend him.

It's not easy to get a job without prior experience. I'm proud that I learned from you and got selected in the very first job attempt. Thank you Sir Amit for the practical development knowledge you taught to us.
