Just a Developer Building Free Software

About

I'm an independent software developer and Computer Science student who loves building practical software from scratch. I'm the creator of FilzaPDF, a free Windows PDF reader and document utility built with Java and JavaFX. I enjoy taking ideas from concept to working products, learning through real engineering challenges, and improving my projects based on user feedback. My broader vision is to build the Filza ecosystem: useful, privacy-conscious software that people can access without unnecessary subscriptions or artificial restrictions. I'm currently focused on building, shipping, and improving real products while learning from the people who use them. GitHub: https://github.com/Peshimam-Ashar-Mohammed

FilzaPDF - A free Windows PDF reader and document utility

FilzaPDF is a free Windows PDF reader and document utility built with Java and JavaFX. I created it to make useful desktop software accessible without unnecessary subscriptions. I'm launching it to reach more Windows users, gather honest feedback, discover bugs, and improve the experience. If you try FilzaPDF, I'd love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what features you'd like to see next!
