From Finance to Code: My Journey to Web Development
Hi there! I’m Irfan, a web development enthusiast currently diving headfirst into the world of code. My path to this point might seem a little winding, but it’s all part of the journey!
Building a Strong Foundation:
My educational background is rooted in finance. I earned an MBA with a focus on Finance (3.5/MPhil/MS) from Arid Agriculture University in Rawalpindi Pakistan in 2014. I further honed my skills working as a Business Executive at BankIslami Pakistan Limited.
A Change of Course:
While the world of finance provided a solid foundation, I craved a more creative outlet. So, I took a leap and embarked on a new adventure – running my own fast-food kitchen for two years. While it was a successful venture in some ways, it eventually left me yearning for a fresh challenge.
E-commerce and the Spark of Coding:
My interest in the digital world led me to create a Shopify store. Though it wasn’t a runaway success, the experience sparked a fascination with web development. I was captivated by the idea of building something from the ground up, the ability to combine creativity with functionality.
The Present and the Future:
That’s where I am today! I’m actively learning web development and coding, fueled by a desire to make it my new profession. My background in finance and business gives me a unique perspective, and I’m excited to see where this new path takes me.
Beyond the Code:
When I’m not glued to the screen, you might find me indulging in my passions for photography, travel, video games, and exploring the vast worlds of music, TV shows, and movies.
This is just the beginning of my coding adventure, and I’m eager to connect with others who share this passion. Feel free to reach out and say hello!
