Introduction
I’ve always wanted to start a blog, but during my college years, I never really found the time. However, as I delved deeper into coding and embraced my project-based learning style, I realized I needed to share my experiences. One of the main reasons I decided to start this blog is to create an online presence and leave my mark on the internet. Plus, as a project-based learner, I often face obstacles that I need to overcome—by documenting how I solve these challenges, I can reflect on my progress, learn from my mistakes, and hopefully help others who might be stuck in the same places I’ve been.
Why I’m Documenting My Journey
For me, coding is more than just about writing code—it's about learning from my experiences and sharing that knowledge. I’m deeply passionate about open source, and I believe that sharing my journey could make a difference for someone else. Blogs have been a huge help to me in the past, whether I was troubleshooting a bug or learning a new framework. Maybe, just maybe, my experiences can be the key to solving someone else’s problem.
Goals for This Blog
While this blog will be a place for my personal growth, I also aim to showcase who I am—my personality, my struggles, and my successes. This blog will be an extension of my portfolio, reflecting my journey as a coder and an open-source enthusiast. It will include a mix of technical posts on coding, projects, and tutorials, but it will also capture the essence of my experiences in the tech world.
Some key themes I plan to explore are:
- How I started my coding journey
- The lessons I've learned over the years
- Challenges I’ve faced (and how I overcame them)
- The things college didn’t teach me
- Technologies I’m passionate about (C++, web technologies, Python, Flask, AI/ML)
- Insights gained from attending tech conferences
- Open-source contributions
What You Can Expect
This blog will feature several types of content, all grounded in my personal experience:
- Project Showcases: I’ll highlight the projects I work on, including how I approach them, the challenges I face, and the lessons I learn.
- Coding Tutorials: I plan to provide step-by-step guides on building things like CLI apps and APIs, including tips and tricks that will help you with your own projects.
- Personal Insights: I’ll write about the essential things that you don’t necessarily learn in college—whether it’s how to tackle a project or insights into the world of tech.
How Often Will I Post?
I plan to update my blog three times a week, with a mix of technical tutorials, project showcases, and reflections on my experiences. I already have a few ideas lined up, and I’m excited to start sharing them with you!
Engage with Me!
I’d love for you to engage with me as I embark on this journey. Feel free to comment on my posts, reach out via LinkedIn or Instagram, and share your thoughts. I’m always happy to chat, whether it's feedback, advice, or simply discussing a project or concept.
This blog also encourages anyone who wants to share their own journey. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced programmer, your experiences are valuable, and I invite you to join the conversation.
