About Haidar

Hello! I am Haidar. An educator, engineer, explorer, designer, consultant, and mentor. Supporting 100% of remote learning and remote work.

Works

I am now focusing to develop an education venture that supports distant learning and remote work. It is named Catamyst, a platform that helps people to start and grow their career in the software industry. Currently doing private mentorship there as well. Furthermore, I'm developing a highly-skilled professionals community named High Skill Masters.

Previously I have founded a coding school named Impact Byte. Before that, I worked with a coding school named Hacktiv8. In the beginning of my career, I was a software engineer and trainer in Agnium and AMPlified. During and before that time, I was also doing some freelance projects of web development, software development, and technical training with various technologies.
