I'm a self-taught full-stack developer based in Toronto π¨π¦.
I learned to code to overcome my fears of programming π¨π»βπ».
Born in π¨π³ and raised in π¨π¦, I've been on a language journey (spoken and programming ones) my whole life.
Before coding, my fascination with language and culture led me to learning Spanish in Guatemala and teaching English in Japan.
For a long time, I saw myself becoming a spoken language specialist such as an interpretation or a translator.
But all that changed when I discovered web development through Scrimba in 2022.
You could say that I found myself a new ecosystem;
A brand new playground to challenge myself and follow my curiosity.
But most importantly, as a way to reinvent myself.
While this new journey in programming languages continue, I will keep going with my spoken ones as well.
I hope to converse in all 6 UN languages, so besides learning C, Java, and Python, I'll learn at Arabic, Russian, and French as well.
