About Zaruq
Hi, I’m Z.
I’m a self-taught developer with over a decade of hands-on coding experience, and more than twenty years working inside small businesses and service operations.
I learned software by solving real problems — commissioning systems for my own work, hitting their limits, and then learning to fix, extend, and rebuild them until they actually worked in real conditions.
That cycle of building, breaking, and improving shapes how I work today: start from real workflows, remove friction, and design systems that stay clear, reliable, and adaptable over time.
Today, AI shortens that process dramatically. What once took months to design and stabilise can now take weeks — but only if you know what not to generate.
My work sits between practical operations thinking and modern full-stack tools: Google Workspace automation alongside Next.js, Prisma, and NestJS. My goal is to build clean, long-term architecture, and fast.
