My Coding Journey — A Simple Story of Learning, Hard Work, and Commitment

Hi, I’m Md. Ikramuzzaman — a Full Stack Modern Web Application Developer. This is not a “big success story.” This is a real learning journey — with mistakes, struggle, small wins, and steady growth. If you read this, you’ll understand three things about me: I love learning, I work with dedication, and I don’t have a “leave easily” mindset — I like to commit and build long-term value.

The story of building a production-grade ERP from curiosity

My name is Md. Ikramuzzaman. I am a Full Stack Modern Web Application Developer. Today, I want to share the story of my coding journey—not to show off any huge achievements, but to show that with limited opportunities, a small start, repeated failures, and lots of uncertainty, you can slowly carve your own path if you keep trying.

It Started with Disliking Coding

There was a time when I thought people who coded were a bit weird. Before I started coding, I spent almost two years learning graphic design. It was during my 3rd semester of my Computer Science diploma when a simple bug changed my perspective. I couldn't get an image to load. After trying for a long time, when I finally fixed it and the image appeared—the thrill of solving that problem pulled me into coding.

I realized that coding isn't just typing; it's a completely different world of problem-solving.

The Self-Learning Journey from YouTube

I started learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from YouTube. I built small projects and shared them on Facebook groups. One day, a senior brother saw my work and offered me my first gig.

The payment for that job was 500 BDT.

Even today, that 500 BDT is incredibly valuable to me. It proved that my skills could actually solve real-world problems.

How Structured Learning Changed Everything

Later, I joined Programming Hero. The discipline, assignments, and support system helped me build a strong foundation in Full Stack Web Development.

I dreamed of becoming an instructor there. I applied, passed all the rounds, but was ultimately rejected because they only needed three people, and I ranked fourth out of 1,000+ applicants.

It was my first big job rejection.

It hurt, but I didn't stop.

An Unexpected Application Changed My Career

I casually applied for a job at Learn with Sumit. I brought my VS Code extension (Super Snippets) and an automatic backend CRUD API generator to the interview. I was selected, and that's where my professional career truly began.

The ERP Journey as a Solo Developer

My role was to build a production-grade ERP application within six months for a startup. I was the sole developer.

I built features, fixed bugs, handled UI, backend logic, and application structure. It was challenging, but consistency proved to be more powerful than talent.

The Result of Over 2.5 Years

We built a professional, user-friendly, and advanced ERP system. It was my biggest learning ground, teaching me how to build scalable applications, understand business requirements, and handle production issues as a solo developer.

My Journey is Not Over

I am still learning. This journey has taught me one thing:

The most talented person doesn't always win. The one who wins is often the one who can try again after failing.

Next chapter is still being written. InshaAllah, more is coming.

CORE PRINCIPLES

My work mindset (how I think)

I don’t run from problems — I solve them

I learn consistently on a daily basis

I work hard and extra hours if needed to meet deadlines

I want to add real value to the company where I work

I don’t have a “leave easily” mindset

I focus on long-term growth and building, not just short-term

More coming soon… This is my journey so far. And this is not the end — it’s just the beginning. More coming soon, InshaAllah.
