About Me

My name is Muhammed Afsal Villan. I am from Manjeri, Kerala, India. My mother tongue is Malayalam and I can speak English fluently. I have been super excited about computers and video games since I was 3 years old. I started programming with C++ when I was 16 years old and since then I have been learning/doing something related to programming every day for the last 11+ years. I am a full-stack developer and can develop real-world solutions that are scalable, user-centric, and efficient. I always emphasize using the best and most efficient approaches in coding. My very first real-world software was a library management system I developed when I started learning Java in 2011. It was a pretty big success and is still being used by many schools and colleges across Kerala.

While I was in my college, I started my YouTube channel and blog for sharing my programming experience with the world and also learn more by researching new content for blogging. Because I strongly believe that "The best way to learn is to teach". The channel has been well received by the community, and it has 20,000+ subscribers with millions of views. I graduated in 2017 with Computer Science and Engineering degree and joined Zoho Corp in 2017 through campus placement and worked there for one year in the SIEM platform.

After finishing one year at Zoho, I wanted to take up a bigger challenge to improve my skills and have expertise in all areas of software development. So, I resigned from my job at Zoho corp and joined Flysoft Systems in 2018 as chief technology officer. Our team then started working on building something truly amazing for the hospitality industry. Currently, the products we developed are being used by 400+ active customers including restaurants, supermarkets, etc.
