Journey

A little on how I got to where I am today.

I discovered Discord in 2018 and regularly used the various bots on the platform. After using them consistently, I was curious about how they worked, so I asked Google. I looked at multiple JavaScript tutorials and tried to create my bot for people to use.

After a while, I ran out of ideas for new things to add to these bots. However, there was one thing that I couldn't get my mind off. Some popular bots had websites you could visit, allowing you to control the bot! Now THAT was cool, and I wanted it for myself.

Sooner or later, I switched my focus towards learning front-end development, and lost interest in Discord bots. After learning the basics of HTML, CSS and with my pre-existing knowledge of JavaScript, I created my first website.

Fastforward to today, I quit college so I can get started in the workplace, joined Demystify Digital as a Junior Developer where I build ecommerce sites and manage the company's infrastructure, and I'm still building applications in my free time to help me learn new things, and benefit the world.

This is my journey so far, and I'm excited to see where it takes me next.
