My Story

I write poetry.

I interweave logic and abstraction within every line that I write, forming metaphors to make logic simple and light. 😁

Metaphors are coupled, so functions are formed. A verse is created, a stanza is crafted.🧐

Chaos ☢ ensues, yet the stanzes are organized. A file is made, a poem is manifested. 💭

Put multiple files together to create a project, and you turn your poems into a story.📕

This is my story.

Chapter 1: The Beginnings

There was a time in my life where I felt like I was nothing. I didn't believe I was smart enough, I used to get embarrassed over not understanding simple algorithms. I was objectively the worst 3 CS students in my highschool. 👎

Chapter 2: The Resurgance.

But then I realized that human potential is absolutely limitless, and I embodied it. I started waking up at 5 AM, going to the gym, cooking, reading, meditating, practicing self-love through nature, and affirmations. Most importantly, I spent my entire 2021 Summer waking up at 5, going to the gym, then learning JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React from the ground up from 9-5. Every project that presented itself to me became an opportunity for my skills to reach another echelon.

Chapter 3: The Full Stack.

I was applying for jobs with intentions to be a frontend developer since that is where I had homed in my skills... But I got an internship offer for Backend/Fullstack at this company called Splunk. I emailed my manager, "tech stack question mark?" and extended my journey to learning database options like Supabase and Pocketbase and also learned Golang and Nextjs.
I was kind of afraid since I had no experience in the backend...

Chapter 4: The Internship.

I was enlightened. I had witnessed mastery with my own eyes. I saw gravity enacting on chaos to bring about order, where every piece synergized together to create beauty. It made me realize that coding is an ARTFORM. Code is art. Code is poetry. Code is dance, code is music.
I learned Lit Element, implemented web workers, made my frontend stateful using IndexedDB, created an API with Golang, dockerized an app and threw it onto Kubernetes. More importantly, I learned the philosophies of interfaces and the ethereality of mastery.

Chapter 5: Greatness

Firstly, No other word best suits the name of this chapter. I have dreams to contribute to open source and to continue my learning towards mastery. The possibilities are endless. Follow me on github for what I'm up to now! Link here ->
