Hey there! I'm Muhammad.

I'm currently working at Colonist.io as a software engineer.

I started with Python—building a Discord bot, games, and algorithms—before diving into JavaScript, React/Next.js, and Flutter for web and mobile development. I also explored C++, creating interactive algorithm visualizations that deepened my understanding of data structures and algorithms.
