Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh( traditional Islamic greeting in Arabic "Assalamu alaikum": "Peace be upon you." "Wa rahmatullahi": "And the mercy of Allah." "Wa barakatuh": "And His blessings.") I’m Faraz Alam, and I’m documenting my journey through the world of software technology. Despite earning a master’s degree in Computer Applications and having access to opportunities provided by my tier-3 college, I struggled to take full advantage of them due to poor management and a less productive environment. This led to joblessness, primarily due to a lack of upskilling. Now, I am dedicated to enhancing my skills and knowledge with the aim of securing a valuable job offer from leading product-based companies, including those in the FAANG group (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) and other prominent tech giants. This documentation is not for self-promotion; rather, it is for anyone who is waiting for an opportunity but feels they lack the tools and skills required to overcome challenges. It’s a testament to the effort and responsibility needed to navigate the journey towards success when you take charge of your own path.
