1. What do you do and why do you do it? (tell us your story)

I’m a web developer. I’ve created some web apps like “Image It” which became the fifth app of the day on Product Hunt. Currently, I find upcoming features of famous apps like Twitter and write about them. Actually, I really love to know what’s happening in tech giants. You can read them on Hackernoon and my Twitter!

2. Tell us more about the things you create / write / manage / build!

I spend most of my time creating web apps. SpacesHelperTools, Image-It, and Colorie are some of them. But as I mentioned earlier, I’ve focused on findings the upcoming features of apps, lately!

3. How did you end up on your current career path? Do you like it?

Honestly, it’s a long story; I think I can write another story, just for this. But the short answer is YES! I like it! I hope people also like what I’m doing! :)

4. What tech are you most excited or passionate about right now and why?

Nowadays, I really like React JS. It helps a lot to create web apps. I also use GraphQL for my APIs. The combination of them is really interesting!

5. What tech are you most worried about right now and why?

Actually, I’m not worried about any tech because the world needs all of them. We need all of them so we also need some experts in those techs.

6. If we gave you 10 million dollars to invest in something today, what would you invest in and why?

I’d start my own company! But I'll also invest it in tech giants like Meta (Facebook) and Twitter. If I start my own company, I can expand my apps and make better and more useful apps!

7. What are you currently learning?

I couldn't spend much time learning lately. But I’m learning AI! I think it’s the future and someday, it will help a lot of people around the world; Actually, it’s really popular right now, too. Before that, I spent my time learning React. It helps me build better and more interesting apps!

8. What’s the best advice you’ve ever given someone?

I don’t give much advice cause I’m still learning. But I think it’s really important to focus on our own work and don't try to take down other people.

9. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

“Don't bother yourself to make someone understand something when he always thinks he is right.”
