my journey
the beginning
I started my coding journey with simple Python and C# YouTube tutorials. My main attention was on creating games. Back then, my projects were small and my code was often very inconsistent, but I loved figuring things out in my own way.
Started finding interest in Web Development
I started getting the hang of coding, but my interest in game-making decreased, so I shifted to learning web development. Around this time, my code started getting a bit cleaner, and I learned a lot of HTML and basic CSS. I didn't code as much during this period, but it laid a solid foundation for me.

Started studies at Sakky
During this time, I already had a strong foundation in coding, so while we studied C# and HTML at school, I had already shifted my interests to JavaScript and PHP
Second Year
I was in my second year at Sakky, I learned a lot of SQL and how to integrate front-end with AJAX. At then, I was coding more than I ever have before. I often tried to code at least two hours every day on top of school work.
present day
Right now, I'm doing an apprenticeship at TCD consulting and research oy working remotely at Kuopio. I'll graduate this November, and after that I'll be heading off to complete my military service. Once that's behind me, my plan is to earn an Azure certification and find full-time work as a developer. I also went and won the Taitaja competition.
