Hey Andrea, I'm Al Nahian and I work in the field of web development. I'm a Full Stack PHP, Laravel, and Vue developer from Bangladesh.

As I'm very new to Upwork (my journey started yesterday, it's not even 24 hours yet), I'm hoping to learn the best practices, Upwork standards, how to win clients and other related interesting knowledge from other members.

 

The entire Laravel Community inspires me a lot about my work. But if I want to be more specific, there's a senior programmer I know who inspires and motivates me so much when needed. But the list goes on, and there are many energetic people that inspire me actually.

 

If you ask me about my immediate goal, then it is to be successful with Upwork! Haha, and that's why I'm here. Wish me luck!

I am Jacobus here from South Africa. 

Originally, I am in ministry, busy with voluntary work at a Correctional facility under Kairos Prison Ministry here in Krugersdorp Gauteng province, as well as the Emmaus Walk movement where I make use of PowerPoint slides to do talk presentations, which work well for my audiences.

Also, I am doing quarterly reports on MS Word and online templates with lots of features to help my audiences enjoy the input I make.

Here on Upwork, I am at the start of Freelancing more specifically in online Data Entry work with OC R (Optic Character Recognition) which got lots to do with copy & paste, Data Extraction and Editing to suit my client's requirements.

I am looking forward to meeting real people on this platform from whom I can learn extra a lot about using this platform for the best results.

Hi everyone!! My name is Alicia and I am a bookkeeper with over 15 years experience in finance; located in Chili, New York. Although I signed up with Upwork years ago, this is the first time I am trying to use it. I'm excited to learn how other small businesss bring on new clients and advertise themselves.  I worked in large corporations mainly in the Accounts Receivable department for over 10 years before working at Intuit QuickBooks as a live bookkeeper. Mainly working behind the scenes gave me the confidence to start my own bookkeeping company. Now to bring on the work!! That's the hardest part!! I'm inspired by all the small business owners I've met! Seeing all their hard work pay off when their business grows is amazing to me!!

 

Glad to meet everyone on here and hoping we can all assist and inspire ach other!
