My journey into programming began with self-learning through YouTube tutorials, where I built my first understanding of web development and discovered a genuine passion for creating things through code.

To strengthen my foundation, I completed several courses by Meta, which helped me develop a structured understanding of front-end development concepts and best practices.

Alongside formal courses, I consistently dedicated time to independent learning, refining my skills through practice and personal projects. I continued expanding my knowledge through in-depth YouTube courses and hands-on coding. While many of these resources did not provide certificates, they played an important role in helping me build a strong technical foundation and understand how to apply different technologies in real-world development.

A major milestone in my journey was CS50, Harvard University’s introduction to computer science course. The course not only helped me organize and connect the knowledge I had already gained, but also introduced me to core computer science concepts, problem-solving approaches, and the mindset required to think like a programmer. It provided extensive practical experience and significantly strengthened my understanding of software development.

After completing CS50, I continued improving my existing skills, revisiting difficult topics, and focusing on areas where I wanted deeper understanding.

Later, I completed a React course by Bob Ziroll, combined with extensive hands-on practice, which further strengthened my front-end development skills and confidence in building modern web applications.
