How I Started Programming

The story of my early start in programming and how I turned my passion into a professional software development career.

How I Started Programming

Since childhood, I was passionate about understanding how software and applications work. I started learning HTML and CSS basics at school, then moved to PHP and JavaScript to build dynamic applications.

First Serious Step

In university, I deepened my IT knowledge and joined the Google Developer Student Club (GDSC), where I learned teamwork on real projects. That was the turning point in my career.

From Hobby to Profession

I started accepting small freelance projects, and with each project I learned something new. Gradually, I built a good reputation and started working with larger companies and institutions.

My advice for someone starting now: choose one field and focus on it, build real projects, and never stop learning.
