About Me
Hello! I‘m Sayem Shahid (pronounced “sigh-am”). I run SelexWeb, where we make cool stuff for the internet. You can think of me like a digital builder. I take the complicated world of coding and turn it into something awesome that you can use online.
My adventure started with an app I made called ‘Data Printer’. It was so helpful that over 200 people started using it every day to save time and money. That’s when I knew that I wanted to use my tech skills to make life easier for people.
Since then, I’ve been learning and doing as much as I can. I’ve picked up new tech skills, solved different problems, and worked on all kinds of projects. I’ve built everything from useful web apps and websites for small businesses to huge online platforms worth millions of dollars.
When I’m not working, I love to cook and play billiards. I think it’s important to have fun and enjoy what you do, so I’m always excited about the next challenge.
But for me, it’s not just about building websites. It’s about building relationships, too. I’m looking forward to meeting new people, learning from them, and working together. I can’t wait to connect with you!
