About Me

I’m Zakaria Saif, a Blockchain and Distributed Systems engineer with a deep passion for technology and innovation. My journey into computer science began through self-study, where I earned numerous certifications in critical topics like computer networking, systems engineering, software engineering, and backend development. This rigorous learning path has shaped me into an independent, self-driven engineer who constantly pushes the boundaries of technology.

I have extensive expertise in distributed systems, particularly with Golang, which is my preferred language. I’m also proficient in other key technologies such as Solidity, Rust, Cairo, and Python, some of Typescript. My deep dive into Web3 technologies was a natural progression, as it perfectly aligns with my background in distributed systems. Blockchain, with its complex challenges and technical depth, became an area of focus for me. I pursued numerous certifications and courses, gaining a well-rounded understanding of the technology from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

As a certified blockchain engineer, I am committed to advancing the Web3 ecosystem and addressing the gaps in blockchain education. My goal is to help others navigate the intricate world of blockchain and distributed systems, contributing to the development and growth of this transformative technology.
