About Me
Hi, I’m Zainab Shujat — a B.Tech CSE (AIML) student, an aspiring web developer, and the writer behind Notes From a B.Tech Brain. I build things, write things, and try to make sense of the world around me through both.
This blog is where I explore technology, geopolitics, student life, soft skills, and personal growth. It started as a weekly newsletter on LinkedIn and slowly grew into a space where I document my journey — the wins, the chaos, and the learning.
What I Do
- Write weekly editions on tech, world events, and personal reflections
- Build projects with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Next.js
- Study Machine Learning and AI fundamentals
- Document life as a girl in STEM
- Share insights on productivity, communication, and emotional intelligence
My Goals
I want to grow as a developer, become financially independent, and build a space where students like me feel seen — especially those who don’t fit neatly into “college clubs” but still dream big.
Long-term? I want to publish a book, build useful products, and create a body of work I’m proud of. This site is the first step.
