I'm Sabbir Ahmed and a Site Reliability Engineer.
I've been obsessed with computers ever since I was in 4th grade. But due to family conditions, I never asked for a personal computer. I learned basic computer usage at a local cyber cafe. Fast forward to 2014, my parents bought me a new computer after I got into an Engineering University as a Computer Science student. And from then, I've been enjoying building stuff.
After graduating from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET) with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), I joined the software industry to make all my dreams come true.
