Hi 👋 I'm Diky...
...and I'm glad to have you here.
tl;dr:
I’m a proud dad and a Software Engineer with over a decade of experience in the digital innovation industry. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across various roles and technologies, partnering with clients from all over the world. My current focus is on developing custom software solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and business owners, helping them to scale and grow their businesses.
In addition to my client work, I’m the author of Hadna EduSpace, a platform dedicated to providing free and open resources for learning essential digital skills such as programming, web development, and freelancing.
Access to Hadna EduSpace is completely free, and I’m committed to keeping it that way. However, if you’re looking for more personalized guidance, I also offer 1:1 mentoring to support you on your journey.
If you’d like to dive deeper:
Beginning as a Java Developer
My career started in the world of Java development, with a focus on mobile applications and games. From 2010 to 2013, I worked extensively on platforms like J2ME, Android, and BlackBerry, during a period when modern mobile development frameworks were still in their early stages. At that time, technologies like SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) were the standard for data transfer, highlighting the evolving nature of mobile development.
Advancing in Artificial Intelligence
Starting in 2013, while pursuing my Master’s degree, I ventured into the field of Artificial Intelligence, with a particular focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP). In this period, I developed a range of innovative tools, including text classification applications, chatbots, and AI systems for product categorization on price comparison websites. Python became my primary programming language on these projects.
Transitioning to Front-End Development
My journey into Front-End development began with a simple but impactful personal question: "How can I make these NLP engines accessible to users?" This curiosity led me to explore Front-End technologies, a path I’ve continued to follow for many years. Today, I am proficient in Next.js, and I often pair it with tools and frameworks like TailwindCSS, MUI, and DaisyUI. This combination has proven to be both effective and enjoyable to work with.
Embracing Blockchain and the Future
The rise of Web3 and blockchain development has brought about significant changes in the technology landscape, and I’m excited to be part of this evolution. Supported by a talented team of Web3 veterans—friends who are developers, marketers, and PR experts—I’ve immersed myself in blockchain projects, including NFTs and marketplaces.
Navigating Remote Work
Remote work has played a crucial role in my career since 2017. My first remote position was with a startup in the Netherlands, where I developed chatbots. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with professionals from around the world, including the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Netherlands, Ukraine, and beyond.
Building Hadna EduSpace
Creating Hadna EduSpace is a deeply personal project for me. I believe that access to quality education and resources should be available to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation. That's why I set out to build a platform that offers free and open resources for learning essential digital skills like programming, web development, and freelancing.
Hadna EduSpace is my way of giving back to the community and helping others navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape. I’ve seen firsthand how these skills can transform lives and open up new opportunities, and I’m committed to making that knowledge accessible to as many people as possible.
Through Hadna EduSpace, I hope to inspire and empower individuals to take control of their learning journey, providing them with the tools and support they need to thrive in today’s digital world.
Exploring OSINT: The Art of Digital Discovery
One of my growing passions is OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), an incredible field that blends curiosity, analytical thinking, and the power of publicly available information. OSINT is more than just gathering data; it's about connecting dots, uncovering patterns, and transforming seemingly ordinary details into actionable insights.
What draws me to OSINT is its versatility—it touches everything from cybersecurity to business intelligence and even personal safety. It's like solving a digital mystery, where every piece of information adds a new dimension to the bigger picture. Through OSINT, I've discovered how open data can empower individuals, enhance security, and create a better understanding of the digital world we live in.
