💻 From coding marathons to debugging adventures, every line of code tells a story.

When they ask me what I’ve been doing for over two decades as a developer, I can’t help but smile. It’s not just a career; it’s a journey, a flood of code that weaves together my passion, curiosity, and dedication.

For more than 20 years, I’ve immersed myself in the world of programming, crafting lines of code that bring ideas to life, solve complex problems, and push the boundaries of innovation. From the early days of debugging in the wee hours to the thrill of launching successful projects, every milestone has shaped me into the developer I am today. Continuously learning, adapting, and creating.

Coding marathons and late-night brainstorms have become part of my DNA. The satisfaction of solving that one elusive bug, and the joy of optimizing a complex algorithm — these experiences define my journey.

As I reflect on the past two decades, I’m grateful for the opportunities that this path has provided. It’s not just about the projects I’ve worked on or the languages I’ve mastered; it’s about the relationships formed, the lessons learned, and the growth achieved. It’s about being part of a global community that’s shaping the digital landscape and driving change in every sector.

So, what have I been doing for +20 years as a developer? I’ve been shaping the future. I’ve been building solutions that impact lives, businesses, and industries. I’ve been embracing challenges, learning from failures, and celebrating successes. And I’ve been humbled by the ever-expanding possibilities that lie ahead.

Each line of code is a story waiting to be told, a testament to resilience, problem-solving, and a deep-seated love for all things tech.
