So, you think your commute is bad? Try crossing continents with nothing but a suitcase full of questionable decisions and a dream that probably involved less paperwork. This is the 'autobiography' of an immigrant who somehow stumbled their way through the supposed land of opportunity, armed with little more than sheer stubbornness and a surprising knack for finding decent Wi-Fi. Forget the rose-tinted glasses; this journey was less 'pursuit of happiness' and more 'desperate scramble for survival,' peppered with moments that would make a seasoned diplomat sweat. From dodging metaphorical landmines to deciphering baffling bureaucratic mazes, it’s a story that proves the human spirit is remarkably resilient, especially when fueled by caffeine and the primal urge to prove everyone wrong. This isn't your typical 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' narrative, unless those bootstraps were made of duct tape and desperation. It’s a sarcastic, no-holds-barred look at the realities of starting over, the absurdity of assimilation, and the enduring, albeit often begrudging, hope that maybe, just maybe, all the struggle was worth it. Prepare for a tale that’s as much about the triumphs as it is about the eye-rolling moments, a testament to the fact that even in the face of soul-crushing adversity, some of us still manage to crack a joke and build a microservice.

Start Writing NowGohar Younas Malik, a backend developer who's spent six years wrangling Python, Django, and a host of acronyms like AWS, EC2, and S3, brings you this thrilling tale. Apparently, building scalable backend systems is just a warm-up for navigating the treacherous waters of immigration and the 'American Dream.' When he's not busy with Docker or GraphQL, Gohar enjoys cricket and arguing about politics, which, frankly, seems less complicated than his day job. He's currently looking for opportunities to inflict his coding prowess and life story on unsuspecting companies.
