Why I Started Writing About Tech & Programming

Today, I’m launching a new section on my portfolio — a place where I’ll be writing about technology, programming, and the things I learn while building real projects.

Most of my growth as a developer hasn’t come from reading theory or following perfect tutorials. It’s come from doing the work — writing code, breaking things, fixing bugs, and slowly figuring out why something works the way it does. Somewhere along the way, I realized that one of the best ways to truly understand something is to try explaining it, either to yourself or to someone else.

That’s the reason this blog exists.

What I’ll be writing about

This isn’t going to be a copy-paste tutorial blog. Instead, I’ll be sharing things I’m actively learning and working on, such as:

• Frontend development concepts I come across while building projects

• JavaScript, React, Next.js, and modern web practices

• Backend basics — APIs, databases, and system design (as I learn them)

• Real problems I face while developing, and how I go about solving them

• Notes, explanations, and opinions from a developer’s point of view

Some posts might be beginner-friendly, while others may go a bit deeper. The goal isn’t to sound smart — it’s to be clear and useful.

Why this matters to me

Technology moves fast, and writing helps me slow things down.

It helps me:

• Solidify what I’m learning

• Track my progress over time

• Think more clearly about problems

• Share things that might help other developers

This blog is also a reflection of my journey — not just the polished outcomes, but the process behind them.

Who this is for

If you’re:

• Learning to code

• Transitioning into tech

• Building frontend or full-stack skills

• Curious about how real projects actually come together

…you’ll probably find something useful here.

What’s next

I’ll be posting about:

• Programming concepts

• Project breakdowns

• Tech decisions and trade-offs

• Things I wish I had known earlier as a developer

This is just the beginning.

Thanks for stopping by — and if something here helps you even a little, that already makes this worth it.
