About Me
Hi, I’m Zainab Shujat — a B.Tech CSE (AIML) student, builder, and writer behind Notes From a B.Tech Brain.
I build things. I write things. And somewhere in between, I try to make sense of what I’m learning, feeling, and figuring out in real time.
This blog started as a weekly LinkedIn newsletter. Now, it’s a growing digital space — part blog, part thinking lab, part documentation of a life that refuses to stay in one box.
What This Space Is
This isn’t just a “tech blog.”
- curiosity meets confusion
- logic meets emotion
- and growth happens in public
I write about tech, student life, personal growth, and the weird in-between phases no one really prepares you for.
Some posts are structured.
Some are messy.
All of them are honest.
What I Do
- Write weekly editions across tech, world events, and reflections
- Build projects using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Next.js
- Study AI/ML while trying to actually understand it (not just pass exams)
- Document my journey as a girl in STEM
- Break down ideas around productivity, communication, and emotional intelligence
Why This Exists
I’m not trying to be the “perfect student.” I’m trying to become someone who builds, thinks, and expresses clearly.
And I know there are others like me—
people who don’t fit neatly into college boxes,
but still want to create something meaningful.
This space is for them too.
What I’m Building Toward
- Becoming a better developer
- Becoming financially independent
- Building things that actually matter
- Publishing a book
- Creating products people genuinely use
- Building a body of work I’m proud of
This site? It’s not a side project. It’s the foundation.
Site Evolution
This site didn’t appear fully formed. It was built, broken, and rebuilt—version by version.
- v0.1 → Static blog
- v0.3 → Structured content
- v0.5 → Navigation & UX improvements
- v0.7 → Engagement (likes, views)
- v0.9 → Themes, admin system, full platform shift
Each version is a snapshot of me learning in public.
And I’m not done yet.
