About
Me

Hey! I’m Mohammed Arslaan Kola, mostly known as Kola. To be precise I’m a 26 year old passionate Coder and Engineer based in the United Kingdom. I spend more time at a keyboard than I care to admit. My passion is split between building stuffs and ofcourse sleeping. Being a tireless perfectionist who’s never satisfied with his own work till it’s absolutely the best effort, would define me in a single line. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me helping others with their work, taking up tuition, conducting workshops, most probably debating with someone, and occasionally sitting on a beach side. I’m insatiably curious and spend my spare time learning new skills. Don’t let my youngish looks and short height fool you. I’m crazily competitive, relentlessly push myself to go a little further than usual, and find inspiration in the greatest challenges. I’m an extrovert who’s at ease speaking in front of a large gathering. I’m able to do it because I’ve something meaningful to share. I’m constantly learning and growing as a person.
