Hi, I'm Shabeer! 👋 I am originally from Kannur, India 🇮🇳, and I'm currently based in Qatar 🇶🇦. Fun fact to break the ice 🧊: I was born on February 29th, 1996, which means I'm a leap-year baby who technically only gets a real birthday every four years 🎂! ​Professionally, I'm a Senior Full Stack .NET Developer 💻 with over 6 years of experience building web and desktop applications. If you were to look at the source code of my life, my daily loop looks exactly like my Instagram bio: Eat &= sleep &= travel &= coding 🔄. I'm currently very interested in the digital nomad lifestyle 🌍, looking for ways to combine remote software engineering with my love for seeing the world ✈️. ​I have a deep passion for hitting the road 🎒 and have lived in and visited some amazing places, including India, Qatar, Malaysia, China, and Thailand 🌏. One of the most amazing things I've done so far is Himalayan trekking ⛰️! I also love organizing group activities; for example, I recently put together an awesome group desert excursion to Sealine here in Qatar 🐪. When I'm exploring new places, I love taking photos 📸 and creating visual content to capture the memories ✨. I'm on Couchsurfing primarily to find new travel buddies 🤝 and connect with people who share my interests in cheap travel and alternative ways of living and consuming 🌱.
