Basira Mehrzad shares her journey: 💙

“I am a Web Developer from Afghanistan with a passion for building modern, user-centered web applications and exploring the potential of artificial intelligence. I hold a degree in Software Engineering and am committed to continuous learning, innovation, and solving real-world problems through technology.

I began my professional career as an intern at First Rest Afghanistan, where I successfully completed a one-year internship before joining the company as a full-time Software Engineer. During my time there, I contributed to improving the company's internal software systems, collaborated with cross-functional teams, and helped introduce modern web technologies to create more efficient and user-friendly applications.

Since joining CodeWeekend, I have significantly strengthened my web development and AI skills by building real-world projects using modern technologies. One of my biggest achievements was developing AI-powered web applications that integrate intelligent features into user-friendly interfaces. The program also improved my confidence in solving complex problems, collaborating with other developers, and applying industry best practices to software development.

Before joining CodeWeekend, I was working full-time as a Software Engineer at a private company. During my experience, I realized that the technology industry evolves rapidly and that continuous learning is essential to stay competitive. After leaving my position, I joined the CodeWeekend Web & AI Development Bootcamp to strengthen my technical skills, learn modern technologies, and gain hands-on experience by building real-world projects that would enhance my professional portfolio.
