    I have set up a windows 2000 server in profession school. (had a cs 1.6 server running in the background). Then I was the guy that was good with computers.

    Was sent to do first level support, after two weeks I never wanted to return to IT ever again.

    A month later I was sent to development department to write an application that manages participation in a company event. Was super fun and I stayed.

    I played a lot of video games when I was a kid, including Garry's Mod. Garry's Mod has a great scripting ecosystem and I wanted to get in on the action. I learned Lua for that purpose and wrote some simple scripts. After that I learned Linden Scripting Language (for SecondLife). I then went on to learn Java and then PHP soon after. I enjoyed it a lot and didn't have any better ideas for my future, so I decided to get a degree in Computer Science.

    Always enjoyed being able to conceptualize some type of functionality and then being able to tell a system how to produce that functionality, a lot of times, for a lot of people.

    I had an idea for an app from 2 years
    First i had a design skills because I started as a graphic designer so I learned the UI/UX concepts to be able to design my idea than i asked one of my friends to help me develop it but it didn't went well so i toke the decision to learn how to make it by myself
    Accidentally, I discovered that developing os my thing.
    Now i am working on my idea and 2 or 3 more projects, one of them is an open source project to help people start easier the developing journey 😄
    Lastly i want to thank that person who made me enter this field 😙
