I write PHP. Learning Laravel, properly.
open for hireI'm Tayyab, from a village near Chichawatni, Pakistan. I build REST APIs, backend systems, and occasionally question my life choices. I don't code with music on — it makes me overthink. I switched to Linux because Windows felt bloated. I really like kaddoo ka salan.
Most of my work is PHP backend systems, REST APIs, databases. Lately I've been spending most of my time in Laravel, building Evently to understand the framework from the inside: routing, middleware, authentication, controllers, and the why behind each decision. Topped my school in matriculation, by the way. Peaked since.
That's the short version. 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.
