Hi, it's great to see you here!

I'm Awais Alwaisy, a founding engineer at a VR startup. For the past 2 years, I've been working as a Frontend Developer with a diverse stack including:

  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • React / Next.js / Redux / Zustand
  • Vue 3 / Nuxt 3 / Pinia
  • Tailwind CSS / Shadcn / Quasar / MUI / Mantine UI / Daisy UI

Know about me better:

Back in 2017, I started my journey as a future doctor by getting admission to medical college. However, I ended up spending most of my time in the first two years learning about SEO, blogging, marketing, and how to earn money online, among other things. Before I knew it, final exams arrived and I failed. It was a natural outcome. Subsequently, I attempted two other degrees, failing at each one before deciding to pursue a career as a Software Engineer. Quite a crazy journey!

Through failures, rejections, and insults, I learned valuable lessons. Self-taught learning became my only companion to keep moving forward. My first job was as a VueJs developer for a Malaysian ERP company. Regrettably, I later left the role due to differences in tech stack preferences. Reflecting on this, I realize my mistake and feel remorseful towards my first client. He imparted essential lessons that every fresh software engineer should have. I still vividly recall the moment he introduced me to his team as a Vue Programmer; what a remarkable feeling. Thank you…

Over the past two years, from 2022 to 2024, I've acquired numerous learnings that are too vast to list here. Currently, I am working with a VR startup as a founding developer. I find immense satisfaction in my work, especially when our growth team achieves success.

My ultimate goal is to evolve into a better Software Engineer, an Entrepreneur, and to stay updated with the latest trends in technology.

Robotics holds a special place in my heart, and I aspire to build a career in this field. Feel free to check out my second LinkedIn profile where I'm transitioning from Frontend Web Development to becoming a Machine Learning Engineer.
