About Me
Portrait of Mostafa Meerzad

MostafaMeerzad

Full-stack Engineer · Product-Focused · AI Curious

Self-taught full-stack developer based in Kabul, Afghanistan. I started in 2019 with a university seat and a lot of curiosity. When that path closed, I didn't stop — I opened a browser and taught myself everything from scratch through FreeCodeCamp, YouTube, and relentless project building.

Now I'm shipping production software for real clients at Webistan.cloud — and I'm open to my next challenge. I work across the full stack but what drives me is the final product: something that works reliably, feels polished, and makes sense to the person using it.

Clean UI isn't decoration to me — it's part of the job. I'm available for remote roles or onsite in Kabul — startups, product companies, or agencies that value people who take ownership and follow through.

my journey
2019

Where it started

Accepted to Kabul University for software engineering. First real exposure to programming — realized this was exactly what I wanted to do.

2020 – 2021

The pivot

Circumstances made continuing university impossible. Made a decision: if university wasn't an option, I'd go my own path. Opened a browser and never looked back.

2021 – 2025

Self-built

FreeCodeCamp, YouTube, GitHub — project after project. Earned certifications. Built 160+ repos. Landed a Coding Samurai internship entirely on the strength of what I'd shipped. No degree. Just code.

2025 – Present

Professional

Joined Webistan.cloud as a Full Stack Developer. Shipped two production applications for real clients. Now looking for a bigger challenge — remote or in Kabul.

A bit more about me

  • Gamer

    GTA, COD, story-driven chaos — gaming is my favorite way to unwind and explore creative worlds.

  • Tinkerer

    I naturally look for hidden potential in things. If it can be opened, customized, or improved, I've probably tried it.

  • Bike enthusiast

    Adventure rides, late-night tuning, engine sounds — I love bikes. Debugging code and fixing machines feel surprisingly similar.

  • Creative roots

    Growing up with a designer brother and painter sister made creativity part of everyday life. Good design feels personal to me.
