I've always been drawn to technology and problem-solving, whether it was building websites, designing with Photoshop, fixing computers, or just exploring how things work. Even though I started out on a different path, my interest in tech never went away. A couple of years ago, I started learning JavaScript on my own, which led me to Northcoders, where I've been developing my skills to become a professional software developer. I'm finally doing what I have always loved.
