📍 Introduction — How My Journey Began

When I first joined university, I had only heard of HTML and CSS as “the basics of web development.” I didn’t realize how deep this field could go — from simple static pages to complex, interactive applications. At first, the tech world felt intimidating: AI was booming, full-stack frameworks were everywhere, and I was still trying to understand where to start.

I made the same mistake many beginners make — I relied too much on watching YouTube tutorials without building anything. I jumped from one course to another, never completing them, and months passed with little progress. That’s when I decided I needed a real change: to stop passively consuming and start actively creating.

💡 The turning point was realizing that watching isn’t learning — building is learning.

So, I set a simple rule for myself: learn a concept, apply it immediately in a small project, and push it to GitHub. This not only helped me remember what I learned but also started building my public portfolio.
