About Me

 Hi! I’m Rana Saha, a passionate software developer and lifelong learner dedicated to building meaningful digital experiences.

I started this blog, Learn With Rana, as a space to share my journey, experiments, lessons, and ideas with the world — especially in the fields of web development, programming, and personal growth.

Over the years, I’ve worked with technologies like Laravel, Node.js, JavaScript, and MongoDB. I enjoy solving real-world problems through clean code and thoughtful design. Whether it’s building APIs, debugging tricky bugs, or automating tasks, I thrive on challenges and continuous learning.

This blog is a mix of:

  • ๐Ÿ’ป Coding tutorials

  • Tech insights

  • ๐Ÿง  Career tips

  • ๐Ÿ”ง Project breakdowns

  • ๐Ÿ“š What I’m learning

When I’m not coding, I love reading tech blogs, exploring open-source tools, and occasionally helping others get started in tech.

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to explore my blog posts and projects — and don’t hesitate to reach out via the Contact page. I’d love to connect!
