🚀 My Journey with AI: From Drafting Emails to Building My Dream Website

When ChatGPT first launched, I, like many others, began using it for everyday tasks — drafting emails, writing documentation, and simplifying project work. It quickly became more than just a tool; it became a reliable assistant in both my professional and personal life.

From generating images and clarifying technical topics to helping me understand medical reports, AI became my go-to companion.

But over the past year, I felt a deeper urge — to go beyond tasks and use AI to fulfill a long-standing dream: building my personal website.

💡 A Dream from College Days

Since college, I dreamt of having a personal website — a space to share my journey, thoughts, and maybe inspire others. But with no background in web development and a busy career, I kept postponing it for over a decade.

Working in a functional domain, I had experience understanding customer needs and coordinated with technical teams to get things done — but I myself had no clue how to do coding.

🌙 Ramadan Breakthrough: A Week That Changed Everything

During the last Ramadan vacation, I finally found a window to explore. With a clear vision and a lot of hope, I took the plunge.

Using AI tools like ChatGPT, Grok, and DeepSeek, I dedicated around a week to building my site. Here's what I accomplished:

• Learned to host a website using GitHub
• Bought a domain — themohammadparwez.com (since mohammadparwez.com was taken) for just $6 from Namecheap
• Created and organized all content — with full support from my AI assistants

These 7 days were among the most fulfilling of my life. For 10 years, I believed I couldn't do it alone. But with the right tools and mindset, I finally did.

🤖 AI at Work: From Personal Growth to Professional Boost

For the past 2 quarters, my company — SPAN Group — encouraged us to explore AI tools. A few brainstorming sessions with our leadership team were conducted, one headed by our technical manager, who introduced us to many new tools beyond ChatGPT and DeepSeek.

Thanks to management support, we also got access to Microsoft Copilot Pro, which further enhanced our productivity.

✍️ Sharing My Learnings

Over the past months, I've been exploring how AI can revolutionize industries. I started writing blog posts to share these insights:

• 📄 AI Terms IT Professionals Must Know: Essential terminology for staying relevant in the AI era
• 📄 How AI Will Transform Intralogistics: Exploring AI's impact on warehouse operations
• 📄 Digital Transformation Strategies: Why businesses must embrace digital change
• 📄 Automation Trends 2025: Five key trends shaping industrial automation

Even if just one person feels inspired to explore AI after reading my posts, it's worth it. And I'll keep writing — no matter what.

⚡ The Power of AI: From 7 Days to 2 Hours

Recently, I revamped my website using an AI builder named Bolt. What took me 7 days the first time now took less than 2 hours — including this blog post and design updates.

This is the power of AI: Turning weeks into hours, lowering costs, and accelerating progress.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Start now: Don't wait for the perfect time or full knowledge
• AI is an enabler: Your creativity and willpower matter most
• Explore multiple tools: Each has unique strengths
• You don't need to be a developer: You just need to be a doer
• Embrace the learning process: Every challenge is an opportunity to grow

🌐 Looking Forward

My website journey is far from over. With AI as my companion, I'm continuously improving, adding new content, and exploring innovative ways to share knowledge and inspire others.

The transformation from someone who "couldn't code" to someone who builds and maintains a professional website is a testament to what's possible when we combine human ambition with AI capabilities.
