Welcome to my page!
I'm M Saif Asif, a Software Engineer & Social Entrepreneur — a curious person who got his first (super used and super old) computer back in 2005; an old Pentium 1 with 96MB of RAM 🚀.
Tinkered with it a lot to figure out what and how it works (still figuring out most of how computers work even today), but fast forward to today I can now call myself a professional software engineer.
Let's see, what did I do with it … ?
- 🐧 Installed Fedora 2 on it — my first ever Linux distro
- ☕ Installed Eclipse IDE (I think it was 3.2 back then) and found the world of Java 1.5
- 💽 Played around with expand disks, GRUB installer, multi OS boot systems
- 📦 Some interesting projects that survived the test of time can be found here
- 🥇 Got my first Apache code contribution in 2016 that went into commons-lang
- 🥈 Became a silver contributor to the Java topic on StackOverflow
- 🧪 First beta tester for MeerCat Manager (link now dead since it is a dead system)
- 🥇 Passed OCE, JEE6 Web Component Developer exam
- 🥈 Early contributor to the now deprecated maven eclipse for Eclipse
