This started back in 6th grade. My dad got a computer for my sister's architecture work. I hadn't really used one before, so I started mostly messing around and got hooked.

Initially, it was just the internet, games, and music. One day, while trying to install GTA Vice City, I somehow ended up with a virus. I had no idea what a virus even was or how it completely messed up my computer, so I got curious and started googling. That's when I first came across programs and code.

A couple of years later I got my own computer, plus unmonitored internet access. I tried a bunch of other stuff too: recording music, editing videos, and random experiments, and somewhere along the way got into coding. I built websites, wrote scripts to download a ton of songs and eventually got GTA Vice City installed successfully.

I've mostly learned by trying things out, breaking stuff, and figuring it out. That's how I ended up here.
