About Me
Self-taught full-stack developer passionate about solving real problems with scalable web solutions.
My Journey
Growing up, I had very limited exposure to technology and computers. While studying, I worked part-time as a retail associate at a local grocery store to support myself financially. At that time, a career in technology wasn't even on my radar.
Everything changed when I watched a YouTube video about web development. It sparked my interest in coding and showed me a potential career path I hadn't considered before. Despite my lack of practical experience with computers, I decided to learn more about software development.
During the pandemic, I saved enough money to buy my first laptop and began teaching myself to code. I followed online courses, read documentation, and built practice projects to develop my skills, often studying after work hours.
After facing several rejections, I eventually landed my first internship as a web developer. This opportunity provided valuable real-world experience, and soon after, I secured a full-time engineering position.
Since then, I've worked on a variety of projects across different domains:
- Online travel agency (OTA) platforms with hotel and flight booking capabilities
- Premium concierge service applications for luxury experiences
- Taxi booking systems with real-time tracking and payment processing
- Multilingual marketing websites optimized for global audiences
- CMS-driven blogging platforms with advanced SEO optimization
- Secure business account onboarding flows with multi-step verification
- Single sign-on (SSO) systems for unified authentication experiences
- Interactive educational platforms with quiz and assessment features
This journey has shown me that with consistent effort and a willingness to learn, it's possible to build a career in technology even when starting without prior exposure to the field.
