About

I'm Zaid (Arshad) — a B.Tech graduate in Computer Science & Engineering and an independent SaaS founder based in India. I specialize in building and shipping full-stack web products from the ground up, with a strong focus on practical utility and clean engineering.

I started writing code out of necessity and developed a genuine passion for turning ideas into working software. Over the past few years, I have independently designed, developed, and launched multiple SaaS products — handling everything from architecture and backend infrastructure to frontend design and deployment.

With 4+ SaaS products shipped and 55+ public repositories on GitHub spanning machine learning, full-stack applications, and developer tooling, I am committed to continuous learning and building things that deliver real value.
