From the shores of Pemba Island in Zanzibar, Tanzania, I'm
passionate about creating interfaces, experiences, and applications
for the web and beyond. My journey is one of resilience and code.

Hello! I'm Aly Said, born on the enchanting island of Pemba in Zanzibar, Tanzania, with family origins tracing back to Oman and our tribe, the Albahri. The turquoise waters and vibrant culture of my homeland shaped my resilient outlook. I graduated with a Diploma in Computer Science in 2015 and a Bachelor’s in 2019 from State University of Zanzibar, laying the groundwork for my tech passion. Early roles as IT Support at The People Bank of Zanzibar (2017) and IT Technician at Zanzibar Bureau of Standards (2016) taught me the art of problem-solving and reliability. Life after university brought hurdles, but I persevered by self-learning programming. Now, at 33, I'm embracing this new chapter—proving that with determination, anything is possible. Join me on this journey of growth and inspiration!
Here is my favourite Tech Stack, languages and frameworks that I use every day in most of my projects.
Here are some projects I've built while mastering vanilla JavaScript and modern web development. All projects are deployed live and available on GitHub.
A vanilla JavaScript application that displays popular movies and TV shows using The Movie Database (TMDB) API. Features search functionality, detailed views, and responsive design.
A modern calorie tracking application built with Webpack. Track meals, workouts, and daily calorie balance with data persistence using local storage. Features module bundling and optimized performance.
A simple and intuitive shopping list application built with vanilla JavaScript. Add, edit, filter, and manage shopping items with data persistence and responsive design.
Pure vanilla JavaScript calorie tracker without build tools or frameworks. Demonstrates core JavaScript skills with meal and workout tracking, local storage, and responsive UI.
A modern, responsive landing page built with Tailwind CSS utility framework. Features clean design, smooth animations, and mobile-first approach. Currently in development.
I'm constantly learning and building new projects. Stay tuned for more full-stack applications, API integrations, and modern web solutions.
