Biography

>>>

My name is Iskak. I am a full stack engineer who loves both frontend and backend development. I often find myself absorbed in my projects when facing new challenges, and excited when I solve them. I'm fascinated with libraries like React for frontend development and Redux for state management, and web frameworks like Express (Node.js) for backend. I’m eager to also learn languages such as TypeScript, Python, C#, C++, and new frameworks like GraphQL and more.

Hobbies

When I am not coding, I’m trying new recipes, reading articles from my favorite publications, or enjoying my favorite sports.
When I was child I learned cooking from my mom and sister. They told me that it would always be a practical skill to be independent. Upon arrival in the USA, I have discovered so many cuisines such as Mexican, Indian, Italian, Thai and of course American, and each of them was so delicious that it triggered a desire to learn to cook them myself. I started watching some videos and taught myself how to cook many of the dishes I tried. I call Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver my virtual mentors. I cook at least five times a week and truly enjoy it.
