My name is Abu Zar Mishwani, and I’m from a beautiful town called Drosh, located in Chitral, Pakistan. People close to me also call me Mufasa, a nickname I proudly carry. It’s inspired by the wise and brave character from The Lion King. The name Mufasa means “king” or “brave leader,” and I’ve always loved it because it reminds me to lead with strength, kindness, and responsibility.
I was born on August 24, 2000, into a respectful Pashtun family that values simplicity, education, and integrity. Growing up in the peaceful valleys of Chitral gave me a calm nature, but even as a child, I had a spark of curiosity. I always wondered how things worked, especially machines and technology. I still remember the first time I saw a computer in real life. It was like magic to me. I didn’t just want to use it, I wanted to understand how it worked.
That curiosity stayed with me. I completed my matriculation from Drosh Public School and College, and later did ICS (Intermediate in Computer Science) from Government Higher Secondary School Drosh. During these years, I used every chance I got to spend time in computer labs, try new things, and ask questions. My love for technology grew stronger every day.
In 2020, I got admitted to the University of Chitral for a BS in Computer Science. This was a turning point in my life. During my studies, I explored various fields of computer science, but I found myself especially drawn to web development and SEO. I started learning the building blocks like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then moved forward to more advanced tools and technologies like React, PHP, Laravel, and WordPress. I didn’t stop there. I also explored website builders like Elementor, and learned about performance, security, SEO, and user experience.
While studying, I also built my own projects and offered freelance services in web development, SEO, and content writing. Each project taught me something new and helped me understand real-world challenges. I loved how every website I created was like building a digital home for someone’s idea.
In 2020, I started a tech blog called TechABU. It became my space to explain technical topics in a way that’s easy to understand. I wrote about SEO tips, programming concepts, WordPress tricks, and even AI tools. The blog steadily gained an audience, and that motivated me to keep writing and helping others.
Later, in 2022, I created Spot Web Tools, an online platform with more than 190 free SEO and web tools. From developers and marketers to students and bloggers, many people use it to save time and get things done quickly. Spot Web Tools is available as both a web app and an Android app, making it easy for everyone to access.
In 2023, I also explored Android app development and launched an app called GPA Calculator & Planner. It was built especially for students to help them track their semester performance and CGPA in a simple and useful way. Seeing students benefit from my app gave me a deep sense of joy. It reminded me that good software can make life easier for others.
One of the most special experiences during my university life was being selected for a government project. I worked under the supervision of the Assistant Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Lower Chitral to help write the official Chitral Gazetteer. It was an honor to contribute to something that documented the history, geography, and culture of my homeland.
In December 2024, I completed my BS in Computer Science. Right after graduation, I got the chance to work with a professional software house in Peshawar under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Technology Board (KPITB) internship program. This gave me exposure to industry practices, teamwork, and building production-level software.
Along the way, I also earned certifications in Google IT Support and SEO Specialization, which added more depth to my skillset and helped me stay aligned with industry standards.
By 2025, I decided it was time to bring my bigger vision to life. I registered my own company in Chitral, HindukushSoft Technologies Pvt. Ltd. The idea was simple but powerful. I wanted to create opportunities for local youth, build quality software, and help businesses grow through technology and digital presence.
Today, as the Founder and CEO of HindukushSoft, I lead a dedicated team of developers, designers, and tech learners. Our company provides services in web development, app development, and other areas of IT. Our mission is to make HindukushSoft a symbol of trust, talent, and technological excellence in the region.
Besides all this, I’ve always believed in giving back to the community. I’ve volunteered with Al-Khidmat Foundation Chitral, offering IT support for their initiatives and helping them manage their digital activities. I’ve also taught computer science voluntarily at a local academy, where I helped students grasp key concepts and inspired them to explore careers in technology. Supporting and uplifting others through knowledge has always been a cause close to my heart.
Looking ahead, I have big plans. I want to grow HindukushSoft Technologies into a leading software house that not only serves clients across Pakistan and beyond but also creates hundreds of jobs and training opportunities in Chitral. I dream of a future where talented youth from our valley can build meaningful careers in tech and contribute to the global digital economy. I want to support education, innovation, and entrepreneurship through technology.
I believe the best way to shape the future is to take the lead and create it yourself.
