About

I was not a programming professional and had not graduated in programming. When I entered the working world, I realized that I am not the type of thinker who installs heavy machines and sets up everything using a small guidebook (catalog). After a year of this type of work, I decided to learn to code. I began with Java, then moved on to Android development. It was not as simple as it sounds; balancing learning with a job required sacrificing sleep. I joined an IT company where I hoped to start practicing coding with live projects. Unfortunately, they did not give me programming work but instead assigned me as a project coordinator. Eager to learn programming, I accepted this role because I knew I could still learn something from the environment. I continued my self-study as well. Finally, after six months, I joined another IT company, IP Media, as an Android Developer. This was a significant break for me, and I learned a lot from the awesome seniors there. While working on Android, I also gained experience with APIs, databases, Node.js, PHP, Lumen, etc. This company was fantastic. So this is a brief about me but there are lots of things I did and currently doing to excel my knowledge More to come soon..... (I am not a professional writer, this is just about my little experience in the working world.)
