Hi, I'm Usman Ali Syed
GIS Fullstack
Developer
I create applications with a spatial twist.
My story so far...
It was a dark and cloudy day in 2017, I had just graduated from IST. All
my friends were either doing internships or were enrolling in MS
programs. I was doing...nothing. A few months passed and I was beginning
to get slightly hopeless until I saw a job posting for a GIS Intern at a
local company. I applied, got the job and for the next 2 years spent my
days digitizing maps while my friends worked on stuff like Docker,
Kibana and honed in their programming skills. I was going nowhere, so I
had to do something. Then one day, I got a DM on LinkedIn. That was my
way in to the wonderful world of web development. It wasn't easy at
first as I didn't know anything. But I kept at it and before I knew it I
was building features in Rails. Ever since then I have jumped into
various frameworks from Django to Next JS, created lambdas in AWS, spun
up EC 2 instances, written DB queries, backend endpoints and even
created QGIS plugins.
Today, I am a GIS Fullstack Developer with a passion for creating web applications
with a spatial twist. I love learning new technologies and am always looking
for new challenges. My story still continues as I take on more challenges,
learn new things and grow as a developer.
Stay Tuned, There is a lot more to come !
