Hey There! It's Sariful here...
So, how did I get into this whole tech and business thing? Well, ever since I was a kid messing around with computers, I was just hooked. There was something so cool about making things happen with code! That early curiosity just never went away, and it's what eventually led me to co-found Zubizi Web Solutions. Basically, I'm all about finding smart ways to solve problems using tech.
My journey wasn't exactly a straight line. I actually started out studying accountancy, but my heart just wasn't in it. What really got me excited was diving deep into the world of computer science. So, I took a bit of a leap and decided to learn by doing, getting my hands dirty with programming. Looking back, it was totally the right call because it set me on the path to starting my own thing.
That "own thing" turned out to be Zubizi Web Solutions, which I built with great co-founders. Our big idea was simple: we wanted to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) all over India (starting from my neighborhood) get their work done easier and grow bigger using smart software. My background in both numbers stuff (accounting) and the nitty-gritty of coding really helped us get started. I was super involved in making sure our software wasn't just technically good but also really easy for people to use.
Now, as the CTO at Zubizi, my main gig is figuring out where we're going with our tech and making sure we build awesome stuff. I really believe that technology should make life simpler for businesses, not more complicated. It should be like a helpful tool that lets them focus on what they do best and watch their business thrive.
That's why at Zubizi, we build all sorts of helpful tools. Think of things like ERP systems (fancy software that helps run a whole business) that we've made specifically for shops and clothing makers. We also do easy-to-use software for things like bills and keeping track of what's in stock. Basically, we try to take the headaches out of running a business so our clients can kick back a little and watch things grow.
Outside of the day-to-day at Zubizi, I'm genuinely excited about technology and what it can do. I like to share what I've learned and hopefully inspire others who are just starting out in this field. You might find me chatting about tech on social media or sharing thoughts on my blog. It feels good to connect with people who are also curious about this digital world.
I guess what makes me tick is being able to take something complicated and make it simple and useful for people. I enjoy figuring out how tech can solve real-world problems for businesses, no matter what industry they're in. Things are always changing so fast in tech, and for me, it's all about helping businesses keep up and use these changes to their advantage.
Life isn't all just code and business though! I'm also a big fan of reading - always trying to learn new things about all sorts of topics. And I love getting out and seeing new places, meeting new people. I think having different interests actually helps me think more creatively and come up with better ideas in my work too.
Looking back at my journey, from that curious kid with a computer to where I am now with Zubizi, it's been pretty amazing. I'm really proud of the impact we've had on businesses across India, helping them work smarter and grow.
And I'm definitely not done yet! The world of tech is always moving, and I'm excited to see what the future holds. I want to keep learning, keep building, and keep finding ways to make a positive difference through technology.
So, this website, sarifulislam.com, is kind of like my space to share more of this journey. Whether you're a fellow entrepreneur, someone interested in tech, or just curious, I hope you find something interesting here. Feel free to have a look around and maybe even say hi!
