Let me take you on a journey from a fateful evening in 2016 to where I am today. Back then, I was just a college student, pursuing a degree in chemical engineering, when a friend of mine casually suggested that I play a game called Flappy Bird. Little did I know that this recommendation would set the stage for a remarkable transformation in my life.

Flappy Bird, with its infuriating difficulty, managed to both captivate and infuriate me. As I struggled to conquer its challenging obstacles, a thought began to gnaw at me: who was the mastermind behind this maddeningly addictive game, and how had they created it? Driven by curiosity, I turned to the internet and started my quest for answers on YouTube.

It was there that fate intervened once more, as YouTube's recommendation algorithm led me to a video about a young kid who had not only developed an app but had also managed to sell it to Microsoft for a staggering one million dollars. This revelation opened my eyes to the world of programming—a world where innovation, creativity, and technology converged.

With no clear path ahead, I embarked on a self-guided journey through the vast landscape of programming languages. I experimented with various languages, piecing together my understanding as I went along. It was a challenging, yet rewarding, process that ultimately paved the way for my future endeavors.

Then, one day, I stumbled upon an e-book that taught me how to build an e-commerce website using PHP and MySQL. I followed every step diligently, and as the pieces fell into place, my fascination with web development blossomed. My journey continued as I delved into JavaScript, Node.js, React.js, and the world of Progressive Web Applications.

Fast forward to 2019, and I landed my first programming job as a Frontend Developer at a Singaporean startup. The allure of this new career was so strong that I made the bold decision to drop out of college, fully committing myself to this exciting path. With each day at work, my skills improved exponentially.

In September 2021, my journey reached a new milestone as I joined Female Daily Network as a Backend Developer.
