About Me

My full name is Ahsan Awadullah Azizan, but everyone calls me Ahsan. I'm currently a student at SMK Telkom Sandhy Putra Malang, diving deep into the realm of software engineering. When I'm not writing a bunch lines of code, you'll find me immersed in books, expressing my rage through gaming, and cheering on my somewhat unconventional choice of football team, Tottenham Hotspur FC. Yeah, I know, Spurs might not be everyone's first pick, but hey, where's the fun in following the crowd? Being an Indonesian through and through, I'm toying with the idea of starting a blog in Bahasa Indonesia. It just feels right to share my thoughts and experiences in the language that's closest to my heart. Stay tuned for some coding chronicles, book reviews, and perhaps a sprinkle of football fandom—Spurs style. ### Me & Programming I began my programming journey at the age of 13, inspired by [Dani](https://www.youtube.com/@Danidev). The first language I learned was C# because I was interested in game development with Unity at the time. Initially, I had very little knowledge about coding and would simply watch tutorial videos without truly understanding the concepts. This continued until I realized that I wasn't actually learning anything substantial. I came to understand that programming involves more than just watching tutorials and blindly copying code. From that point on, I made a conscious effort to learn programming properly by following a structured roadmap. I have since explored various languages such as Java, C#, and JavaScript. However, I believe that the significance lies not in the number of languages you learn, but rather in becoming proficient in a language. For me, that language is Python. I find Python particularly useful for automating repetitive tasks due to its ease of use, despite being slower compared to languages like C++, which are compiled. In conclusion, my programming journey has been shaped by the realization that effective learning goes beyond watching tutorials, and the importance of focusing on becoming proficient in a language that suits the task at hand. ### About this Website I created this website with the intention of sharing my thoughts and ideas with others, as well as having a space to store code snippets and journals. I believed that a blog would be a perfect platform for these purposes. I plan to continue updating and adding new features to the website in my free time. By the way, this website is built using the [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) framework, with [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) as the CSS framework. The blog posts are written using the markdown markup language. Additionally, the website utilizes [MongoDB](https://mongodb.com/) as the database to store data. If you're interested, feel free to check out the [Github Repo](https://github.com/ahsanzizan/personal-website) for this project. Kudos to my friend [Beni](https://instagram.com/kusindr_) cuz this website are heavily inspired by his [Personal Website](https://benspace.xyz/). #### Reach Me * [Email](mailto:contact@ahsanzizan.xyz) * [Personal Website](https://ahsanzizan.xyz/) * [Instagram](https://instagram.com/ahsanzizan) * [GitHub](https://github.com/ahsanzizan) * [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@ahsan_azizan)
