Hey, I'm Sajawal Hassan. I do a lot of things, and this website is a failed attempt at showing them all. For how may I even tell the ecstasy of becoming human, and then put it into a website? Nevertheless, I shall try. I'm from Pakistan — a country I staunchly despise, and which I am in the continual, incessant effort of escaping. There are two sides to me overall, one attracted to the physical sciences, and in that, especially computers; the other attracted to the humanitarian aspect, with an emphasis on philosophy and literature.
Come, gaze into the computer aspect first. The first contact with programming I had was roughly in second or third grade, when my dad handed me a very classic book for learning Python, the name of which has unfortunately faded from my memory. I didn't stick to it for long, leaning into drawing anime characters instead, and only properly started coding in Godot — a game engine, in fourth or fifth class.
From there I went into Unity, C# and Blender, making prototypes I never finished nor put in the cloud. Then switched to web dev, starting with regular HTML, CSS, and JS, followed by learning the MERN stack (MongoDB, ExpressJS, ReactJS, NodeJS), then towards NextJS. Later on I messed around with other frameworks too, and learnt Typescript as well. From there I went to Data Science, getting inspired by 3b1b's “But what is a neural network” series. I made GANs, LSTMs, ANNs, performed proper EDA, learnt high level statistical concepts as ANOVA, all the different tests, different distributions and what not… all in late sixth and early seventh grade.
