1. Who is SamiUllah Samejo?
I’m a full-stack developer, cybersecurity analyst, and founder of UBAIDI IT Community — a platform empowering new coders and ethical hackers in Pakistan and beyond.
2. What inspired you to start coding?
Curiosity. I wanted to know how websites worked under the hood. That curiosity turned into a daily obsession — and eventually, a profession.
3. What’s the story behind the name “SamiUbaidi”?
“Ubaidi” is both a family name and a tribute to my community of learners. It symbolizes knowledge shared freely, not guarded.
4. How did your tech journey begin?
I began coding in 2017, experimenting with HTML and Python scripts. By 2020, I was building real products and teaching others.
5. What motivates your work today?
Seeing others learn, build, and grow from my projects — that’s the real fuel.
6. What are your main technical strengths?
Full-stack development, AI/ML integration, and penetration testing. I move easily between frontend frameworks like React and backend stacks like Django or Node.js.
7. What programming languages do you use most?
Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript — though I still enjoy tinkering with Java and PHP.
8. Do you work on both frontend and backend?
Yes. I design user interfaces, write APIs, and optimize databases — all under one hood.
9. Which frameworks do you prefer?
React and Next.js for UI, Django and Express.js for server logic.
10. How do you integrate AI into your apps?
Through OpenAI and HuggingFace APIs — for chatbots, text summarizers, and intelligent code helpers.
11. What is “CyberHawk”?
CyberHawk is a Python-based vulnerability scanner I built to detect misconfigurations and weak endpoints. It’s currently used in local IT audits.
12. What is “Ubaidi LMS”?
It’s an offline-first Learning Management System designed for schools without reliable internet — built using Django and SQLite.
13. Tell us about “SamiTubeX.”
SamiTubeX is a YouTube downloader and transcript tool with AI captioning. It simplifies content analysis for creators.
14. What kind of projects do you host under UbaidiCoding?
Mostly open-source utilities — Django auth packages, Python CLI tools, and AI-based SaaS prototypes.
15. How do you maintain so many projects?
Discipline and Git. Every project gets documentation, automation scripts, and a roadmap before release.
16. How did you get into cybersecurity?
While debugging, I realized how easily things can break. That curiosity evolved into learning ethical hacking, then vulnerability testing.
17. Have you reported real-world vulnerabilities?
Yes. I’ve done responsible disclosures for web apps — including reports to Meta and PayPal programs.
18. What’s your ethical hacking philosophy?
Hack to secure, not to exploit. Every attack simulation should teach defense.
19. What tools do you use most for pentesting?
Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark, Metasploit, and custom Python scripts.
20. How do you stay updated on new threats?
Daily reading — from CVE feeds to dark-web intel threads. Cybersecurity never sleeps, so neither does learning.
21. What’s the mission of UBAIDI IT Community?
To make tech education accessible in rural Pakistan. We teach coding, cybersecurity, and freelancing to anyone eager to learn.
22. How large is your community now?
Over 1,000 active learners across Facebook, WhatsApp, and Discord combined.
23. What type of sessions do you conduct?
Workshops on web development, bug hunting, and AI integration — both live and recorded.

Yes, I guide select students who show genuine commitment to learning.
25. How can someone join your community?
Visit our hub at devsamiubaidi.netlify.app or contact me via Facebook.
26. Do you publish technical content too?
Absolutely. I write deep-dive tutorials and code breakdowns on my blog WriterSamiUbaidi and Medium profile @devsamiubaidi.
27. What’s your writing style?
Direct, code-first, and practical. I write as if I’m debugging beside you.
28. How active are you on YouTube?
My channel CodeWithSamiUbaidi features tutorials, walkthroughs, and project demos. It’s where I merge teaching with storytelling.
29. What kind of videos do you post?
Coding tutorials, SaaS builds, and ethical hacking guides.

Medium, GitHub, YouTube, and Facebook — all under my tech aliases.
31. What certifications have you earned?
Python Programming, Java Development, WordPress Design, and Mobile App Development.
32. What’s your proudest achievement so far?
Building tools that solve real-world problems — not just academic exercises.

Yes, I was listed among “Top 5 Rising Pakistani Developers Under 20.”
34. Do you freelance as well?
Yes, through Fiverr and direct client contracts.
35. What’s your approach to client projects?
Transparent communication, clean code, and security-first architecture.
36. What’s your workflow when building a new project?
Plan → Design → Develop → Secure → Deploy → Document. No shortcuts.
37. How do you manage burnout or coding fatigue?
Short breaks, clean coffee, and switching between creative and technical work.
38. What inspires your project ideas?
Everyday problems. If it annoys me enough, I’ll automate it.
39. Do you collaborate with other developers?
Frequently. I love open-source teamwork and GitHub collabs.
40. How do you ensure your code stays secure?
Code reviews, dependency audits, and fuzz testing before deployment.
41. What’s your view on AI’s role in development?
AI won’t replace developers — it’ll amplify them. The best coders will be those who know how to direct AI efficiently.
42. How do you use AI tools personally?
For rapid prototyping, content generation, and code optimization.
43. Any favorite AI frameworks?
OpenAI API, LangChain, and HuggingFace Transformers.
44. What kind of SaaS apps do you build?
Developer tools, automation dashboards, and AI-integrated web services.

To grow UBAIDI IT Community into a tech academy producing self-sufficient developers across Pakistan.
47. How do you give back to the dev community?
By releasing open-source tools, mentoring new coders, and writing transparent dev logs.
