I started programming in 2023 (so it’s been about 2–3 years now).

What inspired me was mainly curiosity + tech + gaming — I wanted to understand how websites/apps work and also build my own projects instead of just using existing ones.

The first thing I built was a basic HTML/CSS webpage, and after that I started learning JavaScript and made small projects. Later I moved into Node.js and started building things like Discord bots and automation tools.

Now I’m still learning and improving, and I really enjoy creating useful projects and experimenting with new ideas
