From Front-End Developer to Full-Stack Enthusiast: My Journey in Web

I'm Zayyan Mustafa, a Front-End Developer turned Full-Stack enthusiast . My journey began with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I quickly fell in love with React. Building interactive, dynamic websites pushed me to learn more, and soon I was diving into Firebase for real-time data and back-end development with Node.js and MongoDB.

One of my favorite projects has been a chat app using React and Firebase, where I learned how to handle real-time updates and authentication. Now, I’m building a Learning Management System (LMS) that combines front-end and back-end work, integrating MongoDB and Firebase.

My challenges have included transitioning to full-stack and understanding back-end systems, but every obstacle has been an opportunity to grow. Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue exploring cloud services and contributing to open-source projects.

If you're starting your dev journey, stay curious and keep pushing forward—it's all worth it!
