About A K M Zahiduzzaman
I am a Software Engineer, Tech Enthusiast, Father, Guitarist and good listener. I have touched alot of web and cloud techs along with big data analysis and artificial intelligence. In my opinion a software engineer is the doctor of the customers product needs where the skill to analyze is the real skill, and the technology is the tool like the ten-blade or a medicine.
