Finding My Way Back to Learning
I’m a backend engineer who loves building things, from scalable systems to small side projects and apps that make life easier. I’ve spent years working in startups, learning by doing, and solving real-world problems through code.
Right now, I’m focused on sharpening my fundamentals again, preparing for interviews, and staying in a constant learning mode. Writing here helps me stay accountable, reflect on my progress, and connect with others who are also growing through their own journeys.
It’s been a long time since I last prepared for an interview, more than eleven years. Most of my career has been spent building software, designing backend systems, and working on products from the ground up. I enjoy creating things, sometimes for work and sometimes just as a hobby. Over the years, I’ve built several apps and small platforms simply because I like seeing ideas come to life.
But somewhere along the way, I stopped practicing the kind of problem solving that interviews demand. Even though I understand the concepts, I can feel that my coding fluency has faded. Things that once felt easy now take time and effort. So I’ve decided to go back to the basics, to practice, rebuild confidence, and get interview-ready again.
This blog is my space to stay accountable. I’ll share what I’m learning, the mistakes I make, and the progress I see over time. There will be errors in my posts, and that’s okay, because I’m writing to learn, not to show that I already know everything.
Beyond interview prep, I plan to write about backend engineering, app development, and my long term goal of building useful SaaS platforms. Some posts will be technical, others more reflective, but all of them will be honest.
I’d love to learn from everyone who reads this. If you notice mistakes or have suggestions, please share them. Together, we can learn and grow.
