Defining Software Developer


Software developer is a person who drinks coffee and turns it into codes. He is introvert, silent person and doesn’t love the social place. This is the common description and in most cases this is right… sad but true

Developer & Entrepreneur

As a software developer…• You are smart• You can how to analyze the data you get• You can understand the customer’s need• You can provide customer with solution• You solve a problem



Entrepreneurs should…• be smart• know how to analyze the data you get• understand the customer’s need• provide customer with solution• solve a problem
