Exploring Open Source: Ahmed Azan

Share on:

Hi, my name is Ahmed Azan. I am an Android engineer currently based in Canada. My coding journey started years ago the night my dad bought a personal desktop computer. I remember installing software like Mavis Beacon that teaches how to type, and games like Solitaire, Spyder and some other nostalgic PC software at the time. I did a lot of things with the PC, and I became curious as to exactly how they work.

This curiosity was something I later explored while waiting for admission into the university. I went out to learn how to repair and diagnose computers. This experience was way off software development but It taught me a great deal about how the computer works. The motherboards, graphic cards, network cards, cables, and Wi-Fi; we had a field day with these topics.
