Full-Stack Developer in Training
Week 3/36 • 01Founders Fellow • Building in Public
I'm Naveed, a 46-year-old career changer transitioning from Cloud Support Engineering to Full-Stack Development. Currently in Week 3 of JavaScript training in 01Founders' intensive 2.5-year fellowship program.
After 3+ years managing AWS infrastructure and Linux systems, I decided it was time to move from maintaining systems to building them. I've completed both the Golang Piscine and JavaScript Piscine at 01Founders, and am now deep in the trenches learning modern web development with JavaScript, React, and Node.js.
I'm documenting my entire journey publicly on Twitter, sharing daily progress, struggles, and wins. Follow along if you're interested in watching someone learn to code at 40+.
Background: 3+ years Cloud Support Engineering (AWS, Linux, Bash, Ansible)

Building new projects every week. Check back soon or follow my progress on Twitter.
