Do not let tech jargon
stop you from being a
kick-ass Product Manager
The only tech course you need to master Web 2.0
without learning code, or expensive bootcamps
Hi-I'm Zeeshan Syed. I demystify tech
so you can build kick-ass products.
[An open letter to leaders in tech]
Embracing the world of tech is about empowering everyone.I approach my role as a senior software engineer in a way that centers on inclusion, accessibility, and understanding, rather than overwhelming with technical jargon.I witnessed my non-technical peers struggling to decipher developer lingo, and that's why I embarked on this journey.I don't ask: "How can I make tech more complex?" Instead, I ask: "How can I simplify tech and make it accessible to all?"My mission is to help non-technical professionals grasp the intricacies of Web 2.0 and all things tech.It's not about overwhelming you with information; it's about providing just enough to empower you.Together, we'll navigate the tech landscape, keeping things simple and efficient, just as I do in my own work.Join me on this journey to achieve the freedom to understand everything you want about tech... and nothing you don't.
