Hi, I am MezdekA Berlin based web developer

From September 2021 to February 2022, I attended a full-stack web development boot camp at Wild Code School. Together with my classmates, I learned how to build complete web applications using React, Node, Express, and MySQL with the help of many dojos and workshops.

Here are some of the projects I worked on:

A React.js project for musicians to meet and jam together.

It was built with a team of 8 people while taking part in a hackathon.

It was a good chance to learn how to work with a bigger team on a single project.

Planet Music

A React.js project, which consumes 4 Web-APIs, that is all about music, including streaming, events, news and quizzes.

It was my first experience with React.js and APIs in a group and I learned a lot about it.

Paradox

A full stack web app developed using Next.js, CSS Modules and MySQL.

It is a platform for users to freely post and share their thoughts and experiences.

My Portfolio

This very website you're browsing right now.

I used the amazing Next.js framework together with a bit of Redux for the state and CSS Modules for the styling.

Audiophile

A project from Frontend Mentor that I haven't finished yet.

It is expectd to be a small e-commerce website for selling musical products.

Biography

Born in 1989 in Al-Hasaka, I’ve always been curious and talkative. My love of learning soon led me to programming, starting with MSX BASIC when I was only 9 years old. I was also fascinated by the green circuit boards of electronics and I began a project to build a small radio at 14. Later, I went on to study mathematics, but I missed the hands-on nature of my projects. I made up my mind to change, but the Syrian revolution had started.

In 2011, to avoid joining the military suppression of Assad’s regime, I left to go to Turkey. After a period of instability, I arrived in Germany in 2016.

The natural curiosity that defined me as a child is still guiding me. My interest in etymology has led to a love of language. As well as my native Kurdish and Arabic, I also speak fluent English and German. I even know some Turkish!

My fascination with the world doesn’t stop there. History captivates me, particularly ancient history. I spend my free time volunteering in places I can help others or going for long hikes.
