Starting My Backend Journey:

I’ve always felt a little different when it came to backend development. The people around me who knew backend carried an aura in my eyes — something mysterious, powerful, and undeniably cool. And now, here I am, finally stepping into that world and learning a skill I’ve secretly wanted to master.

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to know what coding really was. The idea of writing lines of text and creating something out of nothing fascinated me. But I never got a real opportunity to dive in. My journey truly began with a simple HTML chapter in school — my first exposure to “coding.”

Yes, I know many people will say HTML isn’t a real programming language, but honestly, I didn’t care then (and still don’t). For me, at that moment, I was coding. And that was enough to set my imagination on fire. The funniest part? I did all my HTML experiments on my phone because I didn’t have access to a laptop at the time.

Days passed, and coding became an interior love — a quiet passion I couldn’t really show the world. Years went by, and when I started college, I realized coding wasn’t just about fun or looking “cool” on a black screen filled with colorful text. It’s about battling awkward errors, Googling solutions at 2 AM, and silently celebrating when the code finally works.

We can pretend to show off, but deep down, every developer knows that feeling when a single stubborn error line ruins your day — and the joy when it finally disappears.

So here I am, ready to learn backend development. Ready to move beyond the front-end playground and dive deep into the logic, structure, and heart of how things work behind the scenes.

This isn’t just about writing code. It’s about building something that can make a real difference in the world. And I’m here for it.
