I write PHP. Learning Laravel, properly.
open for hireI'm Tayyab. I'm from Pakistan.
I used to want to be a hacker. Now I build backend systems and spend most of my time asking why Laravel does things the way it does. Routing, middleware, authentication , I don't just want to use them, I want to understand them.
When I'm not doing that, I'm probably fixing a bug I created three commits ago. I don't code with music on. I use Linux because Windows felt heavy. And I really, really like kaddoo ka salan.
I topped my school in matriculation. It's been downhill since.
That's enough for a homepage. The rest is on /about.

My first programming project
A very simple C++ program that asked about smoking and drinking, then calculated an estimated lifespan. It was terrible. I still think about it.
