What’s the point of a CV if you can’t accurately determine what I do and know? CVs aren’t meant to be full of teeth-breaking words. Here’s a CV I hope you’ll enjoy reading.

The same website design or online system doesn’t last forever, especially in this post-Covid era. Moreover, dumping all shareable projects here doesn’t give a good idea about my skills. So here are a few recent work examples that might give you goosebumps!

I can use PHP, SQL & JS to their full potential. With JS, I’ve built software that converts images taken from 6 different angles to a 360-degree interactive photo, accessible through any web browser. I’ve recently built a new PHP framework capable of storing and processing large amounts of data using very few resources. It’s equipped with patent-pending technologies that convert usual human entry to SQL queries and efficiently execute them. To put things in perspective, a database with 1.7 million entries hosted on a $5 VPS gives results of 3 consecutive searches containing a total of 25 conditions(some are regular expressions, some are geometric calculations) within 700 milliseconds.

My first freelance design and website project was in 2014, when UpWork was called Odesk. In 2011, when I was in high school, my summer job was developing websites for local businesses. Unfortunately, none of them have the same websites anymore, or I’d mention those! However, here are some of my recent designs. They are incredibly optimized, cool looking and pack a lot of functionality.

My career started with cPanel & WHM. Usually would get them for free with shared hostings. However, when I first moved to VPS in 2016, I wanted to find an alternative, cheaper solution allowing me to host all my sites on a VPS with a GUI server controller without costing me a lot. I’ve tried Ajenti, Sentora, Vesta Panel, ZPanel, and Virtualmin and finally settled on Webmin until 2019. I was so familiar with CLI at that point I didn’t need to have a control panel any longer. I started using Cloudflare in 2014 when SSL was a fancy word. I used to give all my freelance clients free SSL at that time while Godaddy was charging $120+ for one year SSL certificate.

Today, I can optimize low resource servers to handle big data at an extremely fast speed; through load balancers, caching such as varnish, opcache, reverse proxy, etc.

On the right side of this section(below on the phone), I’ve added a flowchart of how this website(asifur.com) is hosted.

I started photography in 7th grade, using my mom’s camcorder, which could take low-quality photos. I began editing photos in grade 8; that’s 2010 for you. In the same year, I customized GTA San Andreas and published it as CD in the local market by adding additional missions, new models and changing the audio language. Started professional graphics design in 2014.

Initially, I would remove particular objects or backgrounds from photos. Then I moved to photo retouch & manipulation—I started videography and editing in 2015 when I made my first short film.

I’ve directed TIFF interviews, made graphics for non-profit organizations, such as LebMASH and even covered weddings and birthday events.

I started digital marketing in 2015 with Google Adwords, Facebook Ads and SEO. Soon I started integrating some of my invented technologies to automate the SEO process. In 2019, I built a system that generated over 200,000 pages with unique content for different cities. Webpages generated through this system got first place on Google search results within one month!

My marketing practices brought extremely positive ROI to all my customers. Thus I’ve never lost a recurring marketing customer to a bad result.

I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mindset. Even in high school, I chose to make websites for local vendors instead of getting a typical summer job. I’ve built several successful businesses over the past decade and helped build companies that were stepping stones for something bigger.

I am an expert in analyzing and planning IT-related businesses, integrating technologies with business models, setting up infrastructure, and hiring and managing people to reach the goal faster. I provide great insight into a business’s current performance in oppose to how it should perform.
