Ali Samtia - Web Developer from Pakistan

ABOUT ME

I'm self taught website developer. I have been learning website development by HTML CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. I have been building websites in WordPress for local clients and friends. I have completed over 80+ websites from scratch in WordPress. Every project taught me something new—from debugging nightmares to finding elegant design solutions. I am also learning computer science and mathematics to understand the theory behind the practice. I am curious about how websites actually work and I want to explore more about computer science and mathematics.

MY STORY

I was born into a lower middle-class family. We had a computer at home since 2005. My interest in programming and web development started in 2021 when I was 11. I have loved science since I was in 5th grade. I have always wanted to become a scientist.

MY GOAL

My goal is to improve my skills in website development. I want to learn about mathematics and physics to become a computer scientist. In future, I want to do research work in the field of computer science and physics.

MY PATH SO FAR

I started exploring websites on my laptop.

Curiosity about how websites actually work
I taught myself WordPress

I learned WordPress and made my skill stronger by working for the client websites.
HTML, CSS, JavaScript

I wanted to learn programming and how websites work behind the scenes.
PHP

Finally I stepped into the real programming world (I am currently Intermediate / Upper Intermediate Level)
Built websites for real clients

The first time my code had to work for someone other than me was on a cleaning website. It had to design a complex form for payment calculations and addons etc.
MVC, databases, APIs

Moved from single scripts to structured applications and built my own small MVC framework to understand deeper.
Computer science + mathematics

Where I am now — trying to understand the theory behind the practice. I want to understand how hardware and software interact together. Therefore, I need mathematics not just to know, but to understand. I am currently focused on ICS maths. I don't only study maths for grades now but also for my goals. I hope it will result in stronger base for advanced computer science and machine learning etc.

How it Started

What Shaped My Curiosity

I have always been really intuitive when it comes to concepts. Honestly speaking, in Pakistan, until 7th grade, the education at my school was mostly memorization. There was very little emphasis on conceptual thinking; memorization was the norm, even in science. When I joined an academy in 8th class, I finally met teachers who taught concepts and loved conceptual thinking. They gave me a lot of motivation. Sir Farhat Ullah Khan was my science teacher in 8th grade. Even though I always loved science, he made me love it even more and ignited the fire even more. I started answering questions that no one else in class could answer. The average student like me finally started getting 90%+ marks in 9th and 10th grade without putting in very much effort. It was one of the biggest favors anyone has ever done for me.

My Hobbies & Interests

01 ↗

Current Affairs

I follow politics, society, and international events to understand what is happening in the world and how different people see it.

02 ↗

Science

I regularly watch science and physics videos because I enjoy learning how things work and discovering ideas outside my usual studies.

03 ↗

Documentaries | Social Issues | Historical Events

I watch documentaries and history videos when I want to learn about people issues, social issues, historical events, or subjects that I know little about. For example, History of Pakistan, History of Science, History of Islam.

04 ↗

Storytelling & Anime

I enjoy stories that explore morality, conflict, human behaviour, and difficult choices. Anime is one of the ways I experience that.

WHAT I WANT TO EXPLORE

There is so much in the world to learn and explore. I want to explore everything which I simply can't. So I have to choose:

Machine Learning and creating AI which are secure, efficient, and sustainable for the future.
The overlap between computer science and physics — simulation and modeling
How I can learn and use the classroom mathematics effectively and not only know it but understand what and why is it actually used

COMMUNITY & CERTIFICATIONS

Programming is something I enjoy doing on my own, but working with other people has taught me a different set of skills.

Teaching WordPress

The skills and curiosity come with responsibility. As I developed my skills I also moved to serve my community and my people. I have been teaching Wordpress to the students in layyah from Erozgar, Remotesol. I have also given some lectures about website development and freelance to people in seminars.

Remotesol Experience Certificate

I have worked at the institute of the Remotesol as a WordPress website developer. I learned WordPress from remotesol, then served this institute for 2 years for building websites as well as teaching the students in remotesol.
