About me

I started programming at 13 because I wanted to understand how games and forums worked. Computers felt like magical machines, and I wanted to figure out what was happening inside them.

That curiosity led me into web development, from jQuery, JavaScript, and PHP to the tools I use today. Along the way, I explored algorithms, data structures, low-level programming, operating systems, networking, and compilers.

I still enjoy both sides: building something people can use and understanding the systems that make it work.
