I have always been interested in computers since I was little. When I was a student, I always thought that programming was not for me, and I struggled a lot and never got beyond the basics. I tried various courses, like Codecademy, W3Schools, and FreeCodeCamp. They are decent, but not enough.

After some time I stumbled on a YouTuber that suggested The Odin Project. I was so excited and tried it. My journey began at the end of 2022; since then I have been learning and continue to do so every day while building a good portfolio of projects, even if the idea is nothing new.

What excites me the most is building applications from scratch, figuring out how each piece of code needs to be working, asking a lot of questions in the Discord server, and doing a lot of Googling and reading until the project is completed, and finally, I appreciate the feedback on what could be improved.

I am trying to help the community with contributing and am also humbled and excited to be able to contribute to such an amazing resource alongside professionals and fellow contributors in the field.

I learned everything about programming from The Odin Project Curriculum, but also I built a habit of showing up each day that builds grit, improving my ability to stack detailed questions for a problem, improving my research skills to look for someone when I need to, reading the documentation, and so on.

Some interesting projects I have worked on:
