👶 About Me

My name is Zanko — a Kurdish name that means “a seeker of knowledge,” someone who is passionate about learning and personal growth.

I was born on February 2, 1999, in a small village near Divandareh County in Kurdistan, Iran — a peaceful and beautiful place surrounded by nature.

Although I deeply value my hometown, its limited opportunities encouraged me to move elsewhere to continue my education and career development.

📚 Study and educations

My journey into education began in a small school within my father’s village. Those early days were characterized by simplicity, fun, and the joy of learning alongside my childhood friends. Being in this environment, my native Kurdish was complemented by Persian, which I learned with native proficiency.

For high school, I was fortunate to attend a gifted school in a nearby city. Driven by an early fascination with mathematics, I chose the Mathematics and Physics track. This field was intensely interesting; I often spent long, sleepless hours immersed in solving complex physics and math problems—a challenging yet deeply satisfying experience I still recall fondly.

During the final years of high school, I discovered the world of Information Technology and computers. This encounter was transformative. I instantly recognized it as my true calling, feeling an overwhelming urge to understand the intricacies of computing systems. This new passion led me to pivot, placing my former love for pure mathematics and physics gently aside for the promise of a career in tech.

Looking back, I consider this shift one of my best decisions. While I explored several career avenues, programming always remained the most engaging and rewarding pursuit. I graduated from the University of Tabriz with a degree in Computer Engineering. There, under the guidance of excellent professors, I gained comprehensive knowledge, from introductory programming fundamentals to the principles of designing large, complex systems.
