The Story

I've been a relentlessly curious tech nerd since childhood. My early days were spent breaking open toys, remotes, and game DVDs just to discover what made them tick (earning me more than a few scoldings from my mom along the way! 😅). Gadgets always fascinated me, but getting my first PC in 2011 was the true turning point. Naturally, I chose Computer Science so I could safely call playing with technology "studying." 😎

Like most university students, I initially got swept up in the fun—hangouts, late-night bike rides, and endless Netflix marathons. Then, the pandemic hit. Stuck at home with nothing but a Wi-Fi connection and a lot of free time, I channeled my boredom into coding, teaching myself full-stack development through YouTube and blogs. It was during these quiet months that the foundation of my career was truly laid, turning idle time into a period of hyper-focused learning.

Eventually, I landed my first freelance project through a Facebook group—building a WordPress site. The catch? I knew nothing about WordPress. I said yes anyway, learned it in a single day, delivered the project, and officially kicked off my freelancing journey. That baptism by fire taught me a valuable lesson about adaptability and the power of sheer determination. Since then, I've successfully brought numerous projects to life, ranging from simple landing pages to complex, large-scale applications serving thousands of concurrent users.

Fast forward to today, and backend development is where my heart truly lies. I thrive on building the complex, invisible engines that power seamless user experiences behind the scenes. I love the logic, the architecture, and the satisfaction of optimizing a slow query into a lightning-fast response. I'm always eager to learn, experiment, and stay on the bleeding edge of the tech landscape.
