Thanks for the questions!

When I was a teenager, I was really into personal blogs, but I didn’t want to use the templates that blogger offered at that time so I tried to build one of my own, by reading some tutorials and checking the source code of the webs that I really liked. But, I decided to go to law school because I didn’t have much support to go to engineering and I wasn’t good at math so, in my head, if you were not good at math, you wouldn’t be able to apply to engineering. And I love the law (not the practice, but in an academic kind of way).

But when I finished my law degree, I decided to try again, so I took some online courses and I even signed up for an intro to programming class. After a few weeks, I got lucky and one of my friends was looking for an intern in the place where he was working and I applied.

It has been almost 5 years from that day.
