For a long time, I’ve had a strange hesitation about sharing my knowledge online.
Even after spending years building robust backend systems on AWS, developing mobile and web apps with Flutter, and designing scalable cloud architecture, I kept all of it to myself.
Why?
Because I feared being judged.
What would my friends, colleagues, or even family think if I started writing on Medium or LinkedIn? Would they see it as showing off? Would they question my credibility? Would they silently laugh?
This fear kept me quiet for years.
But something shifted recently.
The Power of AI — And the Role of Humans
With the rise of tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and other AI assistants, knowledge has never been more accessible. I use these tools too — and I’m constantly impressed by how fast and detailed their answers are.
This led me to a deeper self-doubt:
“If ChatGPT can explain everything better than I can, what’s the point of me writing anything at all?”
But here’s the truth I realized:
AI can provide answers.
But only you can provide your experience.
Only I can tell you what it was like to set up a secure, self-hosted WordPress site on AWS EC2, learn from my mistakes, or figure out how to design a scalable food-ordering architecture using Lambda and DynamoDB.
No AI can replicate those personal stories.
And that’s where human value still shines.
Why I Decided to Start Sharing
I’m not writing to compete with ChatGPT.
I’m writing to complement it.
To give readers real-world, hard-earned knowledge from a fellow techie who’s gone through the process — sometimes painfully slowly — and come out with insights that can help others move faster, smarter, and with more confidence.
Whether it’s setting up SSL certificates for your EC2 WordPress stack, building a real-time racing simulation with AWS IoT, or transitioning from Flutter developer to Flutter architect — I’ve been there.
And now, I want to help you go there too.
Topics I’ll Cover in This Space
Some of the things I plan to share include:
- How I built 6 mock AWS projects to strengthen my architecture skills
- Step-by-step guides to set up cloud-native WordPress, food-ordering platforms, media streaming, and more
- My learnings while transitioning from a developer mindset to an architect’s mindset
- Flutter clean architecture approaches that are scalable, modular, and production-ready
- How I balance learning, building, and growing as a working professional and a parent
To Others Who Feel the Same Hesitation
If you’ve ever thought:
- “What if they laugh at me?”
- “Who am I to share something?”
- “AI already knows everything!”
Let me tell you: You are not alone.
But your story, your voice, your angle — they matter.
And they can help others like you more than you realize.
Final Words
I’m not here to go viral.
I’m here to share.
To help.
To grow.
To contribute to a world where engineers learn from one another — not just from perfect tutorials, but from honest stories.
If you’d like to follow this journey with me, stay connected here.
Let’s build. Let’s learn. Let’s speak — even if our voice shakes a little.
