My Journey as a Developer

🚀 Every journey has a starting point, and mine began with curiosity. During my diploma, I wrote my first C program 💻—a fun project that converted input numbers and alphabets into ASCII art 🎨. It may sound small, but it sparked my love for problem-solving and coding.

🌐 Soon, I shifted to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create my very first portfolio website 🖥️. At a time when ChatGPT wasn’t around 🤖, I learned everything by experimenting, failing, and trying again. My interest in the backend led me to PHP, where I built a fully functional Online Quiz Application 📝⏱️ with features like timers, random questions, and an admin panel. This was also the stage where I started using MySQL 🗄️ and XAMPP, learning database queries the hard way—by building.

🏫 In 2023, I took on a bigger challenge: a School Portal using Laravel ⚡. It included secure logins 🔐, dashboards 📊, attendance management 📝, and even timetable systems 📅. This project pushed me to explore AJAX, email systems ✉️, and authentication in depth. Alongside, I got my first taste of freelancing 💼 by developing websites like LaFloridian, a home service provider platform 🏡, which gave me valuable client-handling experience.

💡 Curiosity didn’t stop there. I expanded into the MERN stack 🚀, starting with React, and built a modern Portfolio Website 🖌️ to sharpen my skills. Later, I developed Auramic, a feature-rich social media platform 🌐 with real-time chat 💬, video calls via WebRTC 📹, AI chatbot integration 🤖, media sharing 🖼️, notifications 🔔, and much more. Hosting it on Render ☁️ taught me how to deploy and manage applications.

⚙️ Currently, I’m exploring Next.js 🌟 for SEO-friendly projects and stepping into the DevOps world 🛠️, learning Docker 🐳, AWS ☁️, Jenkins ⚡, and CI/CD pipelines 🔄. Each step in this journey has been a mix of challenges, breakthroughs, and small wins 🏆 that fuel my excitement to keep moving forward.

✨ This is just the beginning—and I’m excited about where the next chapter will take me.
