Hey! I’mMostafa Meerzad

a self-taught full-stack developer based in Kabul.

After overcoming adversity, I found purpose in technology.

I now build web apps with modern tools like Next.js, Prisma, and TypeScript.

My Journey

My journey began in 2019 when I got accepted to Kabul University for software engineering. Then came challenges: COVID-19, a university attack, and the collapse of the government in 2021. I left college, but not my dream. With determination, I turned to the internet and taught myself full-stack development using FreeCodeCamp, YouTube, and tons of projects. Now, I’ve built 150+ projects, earned multiple certifications, and landed an internship, all self-driven.
