Ishraq Khan is the founder and CEO of Kodezi. Born in Bangladesh, the online tech community regards him as an entrepreneur, philanthropist, tech enthusiast , and programming connoisseur. From an early age, Ishraq was fascinated with programming and started learning to code at 8. Despite growing up in a remote town with limited access to technology, Ishraq kept his dreams alive. Today, he has made a name for himself in the technology space by making a difference in the coding world.

At the age of 10, in 5th grade, Ishraq created his first website. Building anything from scratch can be complex, especially when you have to educate yourself without any mentorship. However, when you have the passion, you remain determined to excel in your field. Ishraq then went on to build his first video game from scratch. By the time he was 13, he had already learned to code in Java, HTML, and Python and was getting better with each passing day and interaction.

Ishraq links his success in online technology to his sheer passion for coding, innovation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In 2019, Ishraq started TeachMeCode. The concept was that it would be a peer-to-peer learning website. He realized most students were using TeachMeCode and the code debugger we built later in the year. Ishraq shifted his attention to code debugging and creating an AI solution to maximize programming productivity.

Tech geek Ishraq continued to make moves in the programming industry and wanted to provide solutions for programmers. He wondered if something like Grammarly existed for programmers, so he founded Kodezi. Kodezi is an AI-assisted development tool that automatically corrects codes. It automatically analyzes code and solves all issues while explaining everything. Additionally, Kodezi optimally restructures code and allows users to change between programming languages.

Ishraq’s major accomplishment was raising $800,000 in venture capital funding in high school. At such a young age, he is an employer with nine employees at his company. Additionally, the company is thriving, with over 150,000 users within 6 months.

The journey to success is not easy, but your dedication will help you become successful. Kodezi has faced numerous challenges, and the main one was raising venture capital since Ishraq didn’t have a source of funding. Additionally, it was challenging to find the right employees as many were skeptical of his age as the CEO, and it was challenging to find people with the same vision.

Through his experiences, Ishraq has observed that many people are great at saying what they want to do but hardly take any steps toward their dreams; they are afraid to take risks. He says taking suitable risks that will impact your life is the biggest step one can take. He also advises that you should follow your passion; it will be more fun, and you will live a happier life.

The ultimate goal for Kodezi is to help as many people learn how to code and make the programming process easier for everyone. Through Kodezi, Ishraq aspires to help millions of people become more productive in their coding careers.
