Pelumi

Hi everyone,
I'm Pelumi. I studied Environmental Engineering in school and I've been practicing professionally. However, during my undergraduate days, I learned WordPress and became proficient in using it, especially Divi builder (eventually turned this to a gig on Fiverr). I've always wanted to code, learned HTML and CSS also (using Jon Duckett's book), but anytime I see JavaScript syntax, I'm like wow...I'll never know this...lol. However, recently, I've decided to confront my fears and learn web development fully. I've been taking some Udemy courses (Colt Steele, Andrei Neaogoie, to mention a few), FCC, and also getting answers from resources such as MDN, Stack overflow and GitHub. I don't know where this path will take me, but I feel happy and fulfilled every time I sit down to learn new things even though it might take me hours to grab a concept...the important thing is everything is becoming familiar gradually. I'm here to learn, benefit from everyone and also to use their stories as motivation to continue on this path. I hope to call myself a developer and a programmer too someday:).
