About — Farhad Khan

I'm Farhad Khan, a self-taught desktop application developer based in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, India. I started in 2018, learning from documentation, other people's code, and projects I finished.

I work in C#, C++, Java, and Golang. That range lets me pick the tool for the desk in front of me, instead of bending every job into one stack.

I care about code the next person can read, and screens that do not need a tour. Being self-taught taught me to look things up properly and to change course when a better approach shows up.

I keep up with the tools I actually ship with, and I like explaining a decision out loud. The journal is where some of that lands. The live room is where the rest of the conversation happens.
