Welcome to DEV and thanks for sharing your journey! It’s always inspiring to hear how others get into full-stack development especially the shift from learning frontend basics to managing backend logic. Keep building and sharing your experiences, it really helps others who are just getting started. Looking forward to seeing what you work on next!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome and encouraging words! πŸ™Œ

It really means a lot, especially as someone who's still figuring things out while switching between frontend and backend topics. I'm learning a ton every day and it's motivating to know that sharing even small steps can help others too.

Looking forward to learning more from the DEV community β€” and hopefully sharing some cool things along the way! 😊
