Hello, I come from an engineering background in electronics but I discovered that I don't want it to be what I do for a living. I specialize in hacking electronic gadgets. for example, in my last project, I hacked a coffee machine and made it accept bitcoin and ether as a payment.

I left my job in the last march on a journey to find what I really want to do. and I discovered I like writing code all day long which is something I used to like doing during my college days, so here I am.

I am currently learning flutter and dart, I believe in learning by doing so am currently working on a simple app that helps people stay connected with other people whether for professional purposes or to keep your social life intact.

so I appreciate any advice about skills, tools I need to learn on my journey in software development.

I am super excited to be here with this amazing community. Have a good day, people.

Welcome to DEV! Flutter and Dart look neat - I've wanted to experiment with them for awhile. What do you like about them so far?

As for advice I'd say: just keep doing what you're doing! The journey can seem long and difficult, but if you just keep doing a little at a time, day by day - eventually you'll get to where you want to go. So don't stop! Keep learning, and keep doing.

Good luck!
