Starting Out as a Java Developer
I began my career as a Java Developer, focusing on mobile apps and games. Between 2010 and 2013, I worked extensively with platforms like J2ME, Android, and BlackBerry, during a time when modern mobile development frameworks were still in their infancy. Back then, technologies like SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) were the go-to standards for data transfer, reflecting how mobile development has evolved over the years.
Exploring Artificial Intelligence
In 2013, while pursuing my Master’s degree, I ventured into Artificial Intelligence, specializing in Natural Language Processing (NLP). During this period, I developed innovative tools, including text classification systems, chatbots, and AI-powered product categorization for price comparison websites. Python became my language of choice for these projects, and it has remained an integral part of my technical toolkit.
Shifting to Front-End Development
My journey into Front-End development started with a simple yet powerful question: "How can I make these NLP engines accessible to users?" This curiosity sparked a passion for Front-End technologies, which I’ve honed over the years. Today, I’m proficient in Next.js and enjoy combining it with tools like TailwindCSS, MUI, and DaisyUI to create seamless, user-friendly interfaces.
Embracing Blockchain and Web3
The emergence of Web3 and blockchain technology has revolutionized the tech landscape, and I’m thrilled to be part of this transformative wave. Backed by a talented team of Web3 experts—friends who excel in development, marketing, and PR—I’ve delved into blockchain projects, including NFTs and marketplaces, contributing to this exciting frontier of innovation.
Thriving in Remote Work
Remote work has been a cornerstone of my career since 2017. My first remote role was with a startup in the Netherlands, where I developed chatbots. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with professionals from diverse locations, including the USA, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Ukraine, and beyond.
Creating Hadna EduSpace
Hadna EduSpace is more than a project—it’s a mission close to my heart. I believe quality education and resources should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation. This conviction led me to create a platform that offers free, open resources to help people learn essential digital skills like programming, web development, and freelancing.
Through Hadna EduSpace, I aim to give back to the community and empower individuals to navigate the ever-changing digital landscape. I’ve witnessed firsthand how these skills can transform lives and open doors to new opportunities, and I’m dedicated to making that knowledge available to as many people as possible.
Unveiling OSINT: The Art of Digital Discovery
One of my growing passions is OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), a fascinating field that combines curiosity, analytical thinking, and the ability to leverage publicly available information. OSINT isn’t just about gathering data; it’s about connecting the dots, uncovering patterns, and turning seemingly ordinary details into actionable insights.
What draws me to OSINT is its versatility—it intersects with cybersecurity, business intelligence, and even personal safety. It feels like solving a digital puzzle, where every clue adds a layer to the bigger picture. Through OSINT, I’ve learned how open data can empower individuals, enhance security, and provide a deeper understanding of the digital world we live in.
