About Me
I'm Hafiz Bhuyan and a Software Engineer
I’ve always been driven by two things: building impactful technology and creating a lasting legacy. As the first person in my family to attend an American university, I set out with the ambition to lead and innovate—whether that meant founding a startup or driving change within an established company.
Over the years, I’ve built and deployed multiple web and mobile applications, learning everything from design and frontend development to backend architecture. Teaching myself to code was just the beginning—diving into the world of entrepreneurship challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, turning me from someone afraid of public speaking to someone who thrives on sharing ideas with teams and stakeholders.
Today, as a Full Stack Engineer, I specialize in React, JavaScript, and performance optimization, building scalable and user-centric applications. I take pride in writing clean, efficient code and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions.
I may not be the entrepreneur who started coding at 10 or built and sold a company as a teenager, but I am someone who is constantly learning, adapting, and striving to make an impact. At the end of the day, my goals remain the same: to make my parents proud and to build something that lasts.
