Hey there!
I’m Ashiqu Ali, and I have a passion for technology and problem-solving. I’m someone who loves to figure things out and creating solutions that can make a difference.
I was born on 20th May in Calicut. My education began at St. Aloysius English Medium School, Karanthur and proceeded to MEMS International Karanthur where I completed my high school education. Thereafter, I attended Markaz Higher Secondary School in Karanthur where my core concentration was in Biology Science. When growing up, I must say I was always fascinated by many scientific aspects from new inventions to how things functioned.
The Transformation: Biology to IT
In 2020, I decided to switch my stream from biology to Information Technology after enrolling in the Institute of Engineering and Technology, University of Calicut. At first, it was difficult as I was not formally trained in the IT field but I was adamant for things to work, and I did. It was a hard transition but it allowed me to see things from a different perspective. I developed such skills which enable me to solve problems using technology and think outside the box to create things that seemed impossible. Now in hindsight I am quite impressed at the level of development I have achieved in this field.
My Achievements
I believe participation in numerous hackathons and competitions during my career has positively tilted my thinking. I won 2 hackathons and one ideathon, which is in itself commendable. These experiences helped me develop not only as a programmer and as a team participant but also showed how to withstand the pressure of new ideas being put into practice.
A Quote That Inspires Me
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
— Peter Drucker
This quote is one that I strongly appreciate. It gives me the impression that rather than waiting for things to happen, I can take the opportunity and make them happen. This is a mentality that I have endeavored to apply in every aspect of my life including technology.
Always Growing and Learning
Learning is not something that can ever be stopped. Every day is an opportunity to become a better person and in a professional sense. My technology journey has taught me how potent it is for keeping abreast of knowledge and putting it into practice. I am always seeking the best ways to personal improvement with a positive impact-not just through your work, but also in how you treat people and share what you know.
More Than Just Tech
Technology is what draws me, but it is also about people. I love meeting new people, learning from other cultures, ideas, and exchanges. Attending tech events and conferences has always put me at a creative pace within that context. It sparks me to think outside the box. I’ve always believed connecting with people is the best way to learn and grow. I really feel that this is my passion: to help others learn together and build meaningful connections.
Thanks for reading a little about me. I’m excited to share more and connect with others who are into learning and growing!
