I'm Usman Yousaf. I live in Faisalabad, where I build the future.
I am a self-driven, career-oriented software developer specializing in front-end development and open-source, currently pursuing a bachelors degree in computer science. My expertise lies in building interactive web applications on the client side. Primarily working with technologies like JavaScript,MERN Stack, Next.js, TypeScript and Python.
I strongly believe in continuous learning and improving myself, so I try my best to learn in any situation possible, unfavorable or not.
Beyond learning, I enjoy reading technical articles and creating projects that both inspire and benefit fellow developers.
If you ever spot me in the wild, don't hesitate to say hello! Let's grab a drink and geek-out over the latest advancements in front-end development or discuss our favorite programming language. ⚡
What I'm Currently Hacking on?
An AI Chatbot Using LLMs, Python, RunPod, Hugging Face, and React Native.
Soft Skills
Certain skills I've picked along the way that deserves mentioning:
- Attention to detail: I take pleasure in creating designs and UIs with careful precision, emphasizing quality over quantity.
- Open-source/Collaboration: I found a community on GitHub called Communitypro that helps newbie developers learn how to contribute to open-source projects and collaborate in building together.
- Ability to work with little supervision: I understand people are busy and would love to get things done timely, so I do my best in delivering assignments and projects with little supervision, sparing you the need to closely manage/oversee my work.
