The Beginning of the Journey

In 2020, while the world was changing rapidly, I found my focus in technology. It started with simple curiosity—how do websites work? What lies behind the buttons and images we see every day? I began with the absolute basics: HTML and CSS. I remember the thrill of seeing my first lines of code turn into a layout on the screen.

This phase wasn't just about learning syntax; it was about developing a problem-solving mindset. I spent hours on YouTube, freeCodeCamp, and reading documentation, slowly piecing together the puzzle of web development. This foundation proved to be the most critical step, as it gave me the confidence to pursue a formal engineering degree later. I learned the importance of clean code and responsive design right from the start.
