My name is Ali Raza Abbas, and I am from Faisalabad. My journey into the world of technology started in 2006 when I got my very first computer. At that time, like many others, I mostly used it for playing games and watching movies, without realizing how much that single machine would eventually shape my future.
In 2009, I enrolled in the Bachelor of Computer Science program at NFC Institute of Engineering and Fertilizer Research. That was the turning point in my life. For the first time, I truly understood how vast the world of computers and technology really is and how endless the opportunities within this field could be. It completely changed the way I looked at life, work, and the future.
During that same period, I started learning C++, and programming quickly became more than just a subject for me. I spent countless hours writing code on the classic blue C++ screen, experimenting, learning, failing, and improving every single day. I genuinely enjoyed the process of building things through logic and creativity. It was the first time I felt deeply connected to something professionally.
However, my family was concerned about the amount of time I spent in front of the computer. They believed long hours on the screen could negatively affect my health, especially my eyesight. Because of this, in 2010, I was transferred from NFC Institute of Engineering and Fertilizer Research to COMSATS University Islamabad, where I was enrolled in the Electrical Telecommunication program.
To be honest, Electrical Engineering was never truly my passion. From the beginning, I was more attracted to work where I could create independently, build something from scratch, and grow purely through my own skills and ideas. At that time, the computer industry felt like the only field where one person alone could build an entire future through creativity, consistency, and the internet.
Even though my interests were different, I continued my studies at COMSATS from 2010 to 2016 and completed my degree. Since my heart was never fully invested in the field academically, my grades were not exceptional, but throughout those years, I continued learning and exploring the digital world on my own.
Alongside my studies, I kept working on my interests part-time and continuously searched for opportunities online. In 2014, I received my very first freelance project through Upwork (formerly known as oDesk). That small project became the beginning of an entirely new chapter in my life.
From 2014 to 2023, I worked as a full-time freelancer and had the opportunity to collaborate with clients and companies from different parts of the world. Those years taught me far more than just professional skills. Freelancing taught me discipline, communication, problem-solving, consistency, and how to survive in a highly competitive digital environment.
Over time, I realized that I was always deeply interested in financial markets, especially Forex and cryptocurrency trading. Trading was not something completely new to me because I had already spent years learning and practicing it part-time while freelancing.
In 2023, I finally decided to step away from freelancing and fully dedicate myself to trading. It was a difficult decision because freelancing had been a major part of my life for nearly a decade. Like every trader’s journey, the beginning came with challenges, losses, self-doubt, and hard lessons. But through patience, consistency, and continuous learning, I slowly recovered, improved my understanding of the market, and built confidence in my own approach.
Today, I am no longer offering freelance services or working on client projects. This website is simply a personal space where I share my journey, experiences, thoughts, and the lessons I have learned throughout different phases of life.
I believe every person has a unique story, and this website is mine — a record of where I started, what I struggled with, what I learned, and where I stand today.
If my experiences help, inspire, or motivate even one person, I would consider that meaningful.
