My Journey as a Developer: From Curiosity to Growth
Every developer has a story. Mine began with curiosity - a simple question that kept running through my head: "How do websites actually work?"
What started as curiosity has since grown into a passion for building real-world applications, solving problems through technology, and continuously leveling up as a developer. Alongside coding, I also embraced my creative side in graphic design, which continues to influence how I approach projects with both functionality and aesthetics in mind.
The Spark of Curiosity
I still remember my first experience opening a code editor and typing simple HTML. When I saw my own text appear in the browser, it felt like magic. That "Hello World" was the beginning of a journey.
As a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology graduate, I was exposed to programming, databases, and IT fundamentals. While my studies gave me a strong foundation, it was web development that truly captured my imagination.
At the same time, I developed an interest in graphic design. From posters to digital layouts, design taught me how to combine creativity with structure. Later, I used Figma as my go-to tool for UI/UX design, wireframing, and prototyping.
The Learning Marathon
Like many developers, my path was not a straight line. I learned through trial and error, projects, and late-night debugging sessions.
