Who I Am & Why I Started This Blog

Hello, I'm Md Imtiaz.

I'm a Software Engineering (SWE) student at Daffodil International University (DIU), a technology enthusiast, and someone who has been curious about technology since childhood.

My interest in technology didn't start with university or programming courses. It started much earlier.

Where It Started

Since around Grade 7, I've been making technology-related videos and experimenting with different things on the internet.

At that time, I didn't really know where this interest would take me. I was simply curious.

I wanted to understand how websites worked, how things were built, how I could customize them, and most importantly, whether I could build something myself.

One of the areas that caught my attention early was WordPress development.

I started exploring WordPress, themes, plugins, customization, and website building. What started as curiosity gradually became something I genuinely enjoyed doing.

Over time, my interests expanded from WordPress into programming, web development, software engineering, and eventually AI and other areas of technology.

Today, I'm studying Software Engineering at Daffodil International University, where I'm developing my understanding of programming, software development, algorithms, databases, and the broader field of software engineering.

Why This Blog?

I've learned a lot from other developers over the years.

Sometimes it was a proper tutorial.

Sometimes it was a Stack Overflow answer.

Sometimes it was a random blog post written years ago that somehow solved exactly the problem I was facing.

And sometimes it was a GitHub repository that taught me more than a course could.

Those experiences made me realize something:

What we learn can become useful to someone else when we document it.

That's one of the main reasons I created this blog.

This Is My Learning Log

I don't want this blog to be a place where I pretend to know everything.

I'm still learning.

I'll make mistakes. I'll build things that don't work. I'll probably break things while trying to fix them.

And I'm okay with that.

Instead of only sharing the polished results, I want to document the process.

I'll write about things I'm actually learning and building, including:

• Web development
• WordPress development
• JavaScript and React
• Next.js
• Software Engineering
• AI and AI-assisted development
• Cloudflare and web infrastructure
• Programming concepts
• University projects
• Tools and technologies I discover
• Problems I encounter and how I solve them
• Experiments, projects, and things I'm building

Some posts will be beginner-friendly.

Some will be technical.

And some will simply be notes for my future self.

Why mdimtiaz.dev?

I wanted to create a small piece of the internet that I could truly call my own.

Social media platforms are great for sharing things, but this is different.

Here, I can control the domain, the content, the design, and eventually the technology behind the website itself.

That's why I created:

mdimtiaz.dev

And this blog:

blog.mdimtiaz.dev

I want it to grow alongside me.

Today, it might be a simple personal blog.

Tomorrow, it could contain projects, experiments, tools, tutorials, and applications that I've built.

Building in Public

One of the things I want to do through this blog is build in public.

I want to share what I'm learning while I'm still learning it.

That means not every post will come from an expert's perspective.

Sometimes I'll be writing about something I just figured out.

Sometimes I'll be explaining something I struggled with.

And sometimes I'll write about something that completely failed.

Because I believe the failures are part of the journey too.

Technology changes incredibly quickly. The tools I use today might be completely different a few years from now.

But the process of learning, experimenting, building, and improving remains.

Looking Back Someday

Years from now, I want to be able to come back to this blog and see how far I've come.

I want these posts to become a timeline of my journey—from the kid experimenting with technology and making tech videos in Grade 7, to a university student studying Software Engineering at DIU, and hopefully eventually to the developer I want to become.

If something I write here helps another student solve a problem, learn something new, or inspires them to build something themselves, then this blog will have served its purpose.

So, welcome.

This is my corner of the internet.

I've been curious about technology since I was a kid.

I'm still learning.

I'm still experimenting.

And now, I'm documenting the journey.
