Hi, I'm Haizad Annuar

Full-Stack Engineer & Cloud Architect

I build high-performance serverless applications and secure financial ecosystems.

My Journey

My connection with technology started early, fueled by PC games at the age of five. However, it was my father who truly shaped my path, teaching me that computers were tools for creation.

In 2014, my sibling and I began our first steps into logic and hardware through Arduino projects. Seeing code physically interact with the world was the moment I knew I wanted to build things.

After high school, I explored 3D Animation at Giatmara Kota Raja. However, I didn’t manage to complete the course as I received an offer to pursue my Diploma, requiring me to transition into a new academic chapter that eventually led to a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources in 2017.

While I held the degree, I never formally practiced as an HR professional. I felt the pull back toward technical problem-solving. I decided to pivot, dedicating myself to learning the "hard way" and mastering Full-Stack development from the ground up to build the career I actually wanted.

I am incredibly grateful to my current company for recognizing my potential and giving me the space to grow as a developer. While I began without a formal CS background, I am committed to the craft and am currently planning to pursue professional certifications to further solidify my technical expertise.

Beyond Coding

I’ve always been interested in the business side of things. At one point, I even registered my own enterprise company just to see how the process worked and to try out some of my own product ideas.

I didn’t end up taking the company further because I decided to focus on improving my technical skills as a developer instead. It was a good reality check on what it takes to actually run a business versus just building the tech for it.

Right now, I spend my free time working on side projects and freelance jobs with a few friends. It’s a good way for us to experiment with new stacks and solve specific problems that we find interesting. I like knowing the logic behind why a product is being built, not just the code that makes it run.
