About me

I'm Ziad, an Egyptian student born in 2003 and raised in Italy. Online I am known as ztiaa, which is the acronym of my full real name, or simply z.

I began working with Google Sheets in mid-2020 to keep track of my in-game currency for a mobile game. It didn't take me long to realize how powerful and versatile spreadsheets were so I started using them for everything I could think of. At the time I didn't have a PC so I began my journey to becoming a spreadsheet wizard by working from my phone.

Fast forward a few months and I felt confident enough to help people with their spreadsheet problems. I started on Reddit, then on Discord, then on the official Google forum and Stack Overflow. I have provided support to hundreds of people across all platforms and in early 2022 I got the invitation to become a Google Product Expert.

About this website

This website is my first web project. It was built in around a week with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I learned all the skills necessary to develop and deploy this website by following The Odin Project curriculum and doing lots of research whenever I got stuck on something.
(For more information on the things I have learned see Site introduction)

I will be using this website to share my knowledge about topics that I am confident writing about which will also allow me to improve my English writing skills.
