How I Got Started

My coding journey began in 2021, when I started programming with Python and built websites using Flask. That experience sparked my passion for web development.

Learning & Growth

While learning backend development with Node.js and Express, I also picked up JavaScript along the way. Each step deepened my understanding of how web applications work.

My knowledge of React and databases is still growing, and I’m excited to keep expanding my skills through hands-on projects.

Why I Love Coding

Programming is creative problem-solving for me — building something useful from scratch is empowering. Every project, big or small, challenges me and helps me grow.

Academic Challenges

School was tough, with concentration difficulties and poor grades. These struggles taught me resilience and motivated me to pursue learning on my own terms.

Social Isolation

I often felt lonely with little social support, but coding became my refuge — a way to connect, express creativity, and rebuild confidence online.

Mental Health Journey

On September 17th, 2024, I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. Without therapy or close support, I’ve relied on medication and self-care to cope.

This journey has shaped my empathy and inner strength, fueling my determination to keep learning and creating despite challenges.
