My journey as a web developer began long before web development became what it is today. Back in 2002, the web was a much simpler place—and so was my introduction to it. What started as a curiosity and hobby quickly turned into a lifelong passion. In those early days, websites were primarily built using HTML and CSS, and every page felt like a small puzzle waiting to be solved. I spent countless hours experimenting with layouts, colors, and structures, fascinated by how a few lines of code could turn into something visible and meaningful on a screen.

As my interest grew, I realized that design alone wasn’t enough. I wanted to understand what happened behind the scenes—how websites could store data, respond to user actions, and become truly interactive. This curiosity led me into the world of coding, where I began learning PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript. These technologies opened an entirely new dimension for me. PHP taught me server-side logic, MySQL helped me understand databases and data relationships, and JavaScript brought interactivity and dynamic behavior to the front end. Learning these languages allowed me to move beyond static pages and start building real web applications.
