While working in music, I realized I wanted a career that was both **creative and intellectually stimulating**. I had always been fascinated by **technology and computers**—from modding games as a teenager to troubleshooting software for music production.

After reflecting on my future, I decided to **fully commit to coding**. I started learning in **January 2024**, and since then, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering **frontend development**.
