Digital techy nerd advocating for great code and career shifts

It's never easy to describe oneself, especially when one is interested in so many different topics and fields and I guess that says something about who I am afterall. I find it fun and entertaining to teach difficult subjects through exotic methods and stories and people seem to also have fun while I do so, hence this blog.

Thank you for this [Lorenzo Pieri](https://hashnode.com/@404answnotfound). I experienced this sometime ago too.

I wrote a blog about my experiences with Imposter Syndrome, it's effects on me, what it took to overcome it and how it changed me. [Here's the link if you or anyone else wants to take a look](https://naji.fyi/an-imposter-inside-thoughtworks)

Great writing Lorenzo. I can highly relate this. I am an enthusiastic software developer since my childhood, still I was the perfect examplar of the impostor syndrome. I went so deep that I had several years if depression before I moved toba new company. Since then I am striving, and also decidednti have no more impostor syndrome. That is why I started sharingbmy expertise here on Hashnode.😊
